Re: alfa-digest V7 #224 (Alfa Sud)

In case your universal translator stopped working, I'll take a shot.  I actually lived in Italy
(Calabria) at the time Alfa Sud was introduced, but wasn't aware of the corporate distinction being
made.

As far as the Alfa Sud and Alfa Romeo factories are concerned, you have forgotten that at that time,
the company Alfa Romeo had ceased to exist (as a privately owned firm).  The company had been taken
over by the I.R.I. group.  Since Alfa Romeo was now a state controlled business, the wording Milano was
no longer applicable as Alfa Romeo now represented Italy.
