Alfa Romeo was established as Società Anonima Italiana Darracq (SAID) in 1906 by the French vehicles firm of Alexandre Darracq, with some Italian financial specialists. One of them, Cavaliere Ugo Stella, a noble from Milan, got to be administrator of the SAID in 1909. The association's underlying area was in Naples, yet even before the development of the arranged manufacturing plant had begun, Darracq chose late in 1906 that Milan would be more appropriate and likewise a tract of area was obtained in the Milan suburb of Portello, where another processing plant of 6,700 square meters (8,000 sq yd) was raised. Late 1909, the Italian Darracq autos were offering gradually and Stella, with the other Italian co-financial specialists, established another organization named A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili), at first still in organization with Darracq. The principal non-Darracq auto delivered by the organization was the 1910 24 HP, composed by Giuseppe Merosi, contracted in 1909 for planning new autos more suited to the Italian business sector. Merosi would go ahead to plan a progression of new A.L.F.A. autos, with all the more effective motors (40-60 HP). A.L.F.A. wandered into engine hustling, with drivers Franchini and Ronzoni contending in the 1911 Targa Florio with two 24-hp models. In 1914, a propelled Grand Prix auto was outlined and fabricated, the GP1914, with a four-chamber motor, twofold overhead camshafts, four valves for each barrel, and twin ignition. However, the onset of the First World War stopped vehicles generation at A.L.F.A. for a long time.
In August 1915, the organization went under the course of Neapolitan business visionary Nicola Romeo, who changed over the plant to create military equipment for the Italian and Allied war endeavors. Weapons, air ship motors and different segments, compressors, and generators in view of the organization's current auto motors were delivered in a boundlessly extended manufacturing plant amid the war. After the war, Romeo put his war benefits in getting train and railroad carriage plants in Saronno (Costruzioni Meccaniche di Saronno), Rome (Officine Meccaniche di Roma), and Naples (Officine Ferroviarie Meridionali), which were added to his A.L.F.A. proprietorship.

Auto creation had not been considered at to begin with, but rather continued in 1919 since parts for the fulfillment of 105 autos had stayed at the A.L.F.A. production line subsequent to 1915.[6] In 1920, the name of the organization was changed to Alfa Romeo with the Torpedo 20-30 HP the principal auto to be so badged.Their first achievement came in 1920 when Giuseppe Campari won at Mugello and proceeded with second place in the Targa Florio driven by Enzo Ferrari. Giuseppe Merosi proceeded as head fashioner, and the organization kept on delivering strong street autos and in addition effective race autos (counting the 40-60 HP and the RL Targa Florio).
In 1923 Vittorio Jano was tricked from Fiat, halfway on account of the influence of a youthful Alfa dashing driver named Enzo Ferrari, to supplant Merosi as boss originator at Alfa Romeo. The main Alfa Romeo under Jano was the P2 Grand Prix auto, which won Alfa Romeo the inaugural big showdown for Grand Prix autos in 1925. For street autos Jano built up a progression of little to-medium-relocation 4-, 6-, and 8-barrel inline motors taking into account the P2 unit that set up the engineering of the organization's motors, with light combination development, hemispherical ignition chambers, halfway found fittings, two lines of overhead valves per barrel bank and double overhead cams. Jano's plans demonstrated both dependable and capable.
Enzo Ferrari demonstrated a superior group supervisor than driver, and when the production line group was privatized, it got to be Scuderia Ferrari. At the point when Ferrari left Alfa Romeo, he went ahead to manufacture his own particular autos. Tazio Nuvolari regularly drove for Alfa, winning numerous races before the Second World War.
In 1928 Nicola Romeo left, and in 1933 Alfa Romeo was safeguarded by the legislature, which then had successful control. Alfa Romeo turned into an instrument of Mussolini's Italy, a national token. Amid this period it manufactured bespoke vehicles for the rich, with bodies ordinarily by Touring of Milan or Pinin Farina. This time crested with the Alfa Romeo 2900B Type 35 racers.
The Alfa plant (changed over amid wartime to the creation of Macchi C.202 Folgore motors: the Daimler-Benz 600 arrangement worked under permit) was bombarded amid the Second World War, and attempted to come back to gainfulness after the war. The extravagance vehicles were out. Littler, mass-created vehicles started to be delivered starting with the 1954 model year, with the presentation of the Giulietta arrangement of berline (cantinas/cars), roadsters and open two-seaters. Each of the three assortments shared what might turn into the Alfa Romeo overhead Twin Cam four-barrel motor, at first 1300 cc. This motor would in the long run be developed to 2000 cc and would stay underway until 1995.
