1936 Alfa 2.9A Coupe, S/N 412004 began life with a ‘botticello’ body (meaning cask or barrel-like), and won the 1936 Mille Miglia. In 1939 it was rebodied as a striking convertible by Pininfarina, and after the war converted into a coupe by a coachbuilder named Martin.

With the little Fiat 500L, our Editor at Large Lorenzo Marchesini traveled to the The Schlumpf Collection at the National Motor Museum. (Read Introduction to the Schlumpf) With the permission of Director Monsieur Emmanuel Bacquet, Marchesini wandered the museum and took enough photos for us to separate the visit into Italian, French and Bugattis at the Schlumpf. Here is a tiny portion of the Italian cars at the Museum. We encourage you to visit and see the rest.
