The company that became Alfa Romeo was founded as Società Anonima Italiana Darracq (SAID) in 1906 by the particular French automobile firm associated with Alexandre Darracq, with Italian language investors. In late 1909, the Italian Darracq cars were selling slowly plus the Italian partners of the company hired Giuseppe Merosi to design new cars. On 24 06 1910, a new business was founded named The. L.
