Hi Spider!
This a normal picture that we can find on internet, is a picture of outside of actual AR factory (Technical center).
Like you know, today this famous site working only with 3 area, one is about Project design (exterior), one is about power engine design project, and last one is about Historical AR Museum
This is because at the end of 2005 Fiat Group (new owner from 1986) have moved all the AR factories assembling in other italian and european site.
this was a sad period for citizens of Milano because we have lost a piece of our history and why the mark AR was taken by Fiat, commercial rival also if historic rival was been always FERRARI - (do you know that Enzo Ferrari was Alfa Romeo engineer ?)
The new good news for US AR fun is that MR Marchionne (CEO of Fiat GROUP) have announced last months that Alfa Romeo Brand will follow a new target... a new market in USA... i hope will meet a strong success. Fiat today are very good group, i know in the past was not see good from usa citizen, but i can confirm that today is very important group, anyway AR group work in a separate way from FIAT (don't forget that also Ferrari Brand is inside of Fiat Group)
Arese is a little town near Milano, today is more a quarter of Milano then a single town, but is a very nice place, tipical italian residential place (also very expensive place).
I hope you will enjoy a new visit in italy next time, are very changed from 1975, I will very happy to send you all information you need to make the best visit.
I hope to update new pictures soon
thanks all
Alberto
ps
sory for my bad english
