FUSI Cover pdf format (226k)Giulia-Related Excerpts from FUSI

  For years, the definitive guide to Alfas has been Luigi Fusi's alfaromeo All Cars from 1910. Each car is generally covered briefly in a few pages of text and pictures. It has no story line, only a few characters, and is mostly in Italian... what's the appeal? Luigi Fusi worked for Alfa for years and single-handedly saved nearly all the documentation that still exists on the older cars. He loved the cars for themselves, when the factory attitude was usually "This part/document/prototype is out-of-date, throw it out so we have room to create new ones." When you read production figures or see factory photos in magazines or books, you should be grateful to Fusi, because they would probably not still exist without his influence. The book covers nearly all cars produced by Alfa Romeo up to the mid 1970's and has been out of print for quite awhile. It's a reference book, but it's also a time machine, letting you travel through Alfa's history, a page at a time. There have been several newer, arguably better, books since this was printed in 1978, but Fusi was there when the cars we can only read about or admire in museums were being created out of aluminum and steel... his touch makes this book special. I recall thinking that $60 was pretty steep when I bought it for the library about 14 years ago ... boy, would I love to find another copy for that price now!

Here are some PDFs of the pages relating to the Giulias (so now you don't have to Xerox them... you just have to download them, and some are pretty large):
