In 1923, Ugo Sivocci put a white square sticker with a four-leaf clover on his Alfa Romeo RL at the Targa Florio race. It was the first time that an Alfa Romeo racing car carried such a label. Since he won that race, he believed that it was the four-leaf clover that brought him good luck, and from that moment until today, all Alfa Romeo racing cars carry that lucky amulet.

In addition to marking the 100th anniversary of the use of the lucky four-leaf clover (Quadrifoglio), the Italian company is also celebrating the 60th birthday of the famous Auto Delta division in which they are responsible for Alfa’s racing activities. The main ceremony is scheduled for March 5 and will be held at the Alfa Romeo museum in Arese (Milan). It was also announced that the big parade of Alfa cars with the Quadrifoglio emblem will take place on June 25.

Recently, Alfa Romeo unveiled a unique model from Zagato, called the Giulia SWB. The car is based on Alfa’s SZ and Giulia TZ models, and is built on the shorter Giulia Quadrifoglio GTAm platform, and mechanical solutions from these models were also used.
