JANUARY 1996
In parallel to the Fiat Multipla and for the same Paris Motor Show 1996, Alfa Romeo instructs STOLA spa to create a very sporty concept with a highly evocative name; Nuvolari.
The style is directed by Walter de'Silva assisted by Wolfgang Egger who directed the Stola modellers to build a great styling masterpiece during the spring and summer.

Roberto Stola, an undisputed Alfista, followed this project along with his modellers, with great passion and energy.
The visit of the Engineer Paolo Cantarella to the Rivoli modellers to view the prototype before painting was unforgetable. On that occasion he informed us that the name would be changed from Nuvolari to Nuvola and that the color from red would become blue.
