For over a century, one small green emblem has carried the weight of Italian passion, courage, and engineering genius. The Quadrifoglio, Alfa Romeo's four-leaf clover, began as a lucky charm painted on a race car before the 1923 Targa Florio - and became one of the most evocative symbols in motoring history. Luck, Legend, and the Leaf tells the complete story of that emblem: from Ugo Sivocci's fateful victory and Alfa's Grand Prix dominance to the world-beating GTA, GTV6, and modern Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio.

For over a century, one small green emblem has carried the weight of Italian passion, courage, and engineering genius. The Quadrifoglio, Alfa Romeo's four-leaf clover, began as a lucky charm painted on a race car before the 1923 Targa Florio - and became one of the most evocative symbols in motoring history. Luck, Legend, and the Leaf tells the complete story of that emblem: from Ugo Sivocci's fateful victory and Alfa's Grand Prix dominance to the world-beating GTA, GTV6, and modern Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio. This is not merely a chronicle of racing triumphs and technical milestones, but a portrait of Italy's soul expressed in steel and speed. Across wars, industrial upheavals, and corporate rebirths, the Quadrifoglio has remained a mark of daring - a promise that beauty and bravery will always go hand in hand. Every generation of Alfa Romeo, from roaring 1930s Grand Prix cars to carbon-fiber modern marvels, has carried forward the spirit of fortune earned through fearlessness. Rich in historical detail and narrative drive, this book traces the evolution of the cloverleaf through Alfa's greatest machines, the visionaries who built them, and the racers who risked everything behind the wheel. It celebrates a brand where art meets adrenaline, and where luck favours not the cautious, but the brave. More than a century of competition, craftsmanship, and courage - all under one green leaf.
