SINCE 1982, MORE THAN 200 MEMBERS SCATTERED IN 19 COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN TAKING ON THE FIELDS OF THE RACES AN OUTSTANDING MOTOR POOL.

IT IS THE ONLY DYNAMIC MUSEUM OF ALFA ROMEO HISTORIC RACING CARS IN THE WORLD.

Scuderia del Portello was founded in Arese on 3 February 1982 as part of the Alfa Romeo Management Centre, under the patronage of the parent company, by a group of passionate owner-owners Gentlemen Drivers of Alfa Romeo, ready to defend the Biscione’s glorious racing past on the track.
The name was reminiscent of the Milanese suburb where the company’s first factories had sprung up, located along the Portello road (so called because it led to a minor gate of Milan’s Castello Sforzesco).
The team was conceived as a support and technical assistance structure for drivers who competed with discontinued Alfa Romeo cars, but in the memorandum of association it also indicated as a purpose the promotion of the brand, as well as the protection of its historical and technological heritage, as a contribution to the history of motor racing.
It immediately became Alfa Romeo’s official team for historic car racing.
In 1990, the Scuderia del Portello changed its statutes and extended its activities to the field of contemporary motor racing. On this occasion the logo was also changed, which took on its current appearance evoking the shape of the radiator of the Alfa Romeo 1900. The current president and team principal is Marco Cajani.
Scuderia del Portello represents the ‘history of the Alfa Romeo sports brand’ on the track. It organises and participates in major international races such as the 24 Hours of Nurburgring, the London-Sydney Marathon and the London-Mexico Marathon, the 6 Hours of Spa – Francorchamps, the 24 Hours Le Mans Classic, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, Goodvood Revival, Goodwood Festival of Speed and many others. Great winning protagonists, the Alfa Romeos of Scuderia del Portello and its Gentlemen Drivers members have participated in the most prestigious competitions around the world, such as the 1000 Miglia, the Paris-Beijing, the FIA European Historic Challenger, La Carrera Panamericana du Mexico, the Tour de France, the Tour de Espana…where there is history, competition, passion and exclusivity, Scuderia del Portello is there to represent the Biscione brand.
