What is the difference between the two? Or is it the same? Is Alfisti more Italian, since I've seen it used more on European Alfa sites.

One alfista
Several alfisti

Alfista is singular and alfisti is plural. simple isn't it?

Good to know, for a moment I thought it was a gender based designation.

I will no longer call myself an Alfisti, but an Alfista.

Bump! This important term benefits from occasional reminders on correct usage. It tends to be more simple than people think: alfista = one, any gender, and alfisti = more than one, any gender.

Now, is there such thing as alfismo? (or a 12-step program to cure it?)

Then of course there's Alfetta which means "little Alfa" and Alfone which means "big Alfa", in a slang-ish way ...
