There was a company named Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili in 1904, and one prototype was built with constantly variable transmission. I can not find any direct link between this company, nor any evidence that what became Alfa Romeo started out buying the corporate "shell" of the defunct company, but I find it interesting and curious that another company had the same exact name at an earlier date.
