Maserati-Alfa Romeo Dealership in St. Petersburg,Florida.

Maserati - 1900: A FAMILY PASSION The Maserati story begins with Rodolfo Maserati, a railroad worker during Italy's period as a monarchy, Carolina Losi and their 7 children. Rodolfo is, in a certain sense, a man of the future: the Maserati brothers inherited their passion for speed from him. By the turn of the new century the family is complete: youngest son Ettore is born in 1894, whilst eldest son Carlo, born in 1881, has already begun his career. Alfa Romeo - The legend started in 1910, when Cavalier Ugo Stella acquired the shares of Società Italiana Automobili Darraq, the Italian plant of a French car maker. The first plant was at number 95 Strada del Portello in the north- west outskirts of Milan and the company was called “Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili” (Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company), hence the acronym A.L.F.A.
