Hi Larry:

Alfa camshafts have bearings, as do all, but rather than having 
removable/replaceable bearing shells, the camshaft rides in the bearing 
surfaces machined into the cylinder head.  Also, all camshafts turn at 1/2 
crankshaft (engine) speed, as each cylinder fires every other revolution of 
the crankshaft.
