On Italian streets, it's not unusual to see an Alfa Romeo catching the eye. But what Andrea, owner of an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Q4, experienced went beyond mere admiration. When he found a piece of paper slipped under his windscreen wiper, he initially thought it was a fine. However, as he got closer, the reality turned out to be far more unexpected... and touching.
"I thought it was a parking ticket," says Andrea on a Facebook group for Alfa Romeo owners. In fact, it was the most beautiful gift imaginable."
On the sheet, a few handwritten words:
"The most beautiful Giulia I've ever seen. I'm the one parked next to it with the BMW. The color is splendid."
A simple, sincere message, but all the more surprising because it came from... a young 21-year-old carabiniere who owns a BMW. The policeman, seduced by the lines of the Italian sedan, couldn't resist sharing his admiration.
This little scene, which has gone viral on social networks, perfectly illustrates what Alfa Romeo still represents in the hearts of enthusiasts: a symbol of elegance, passion and Italian identity. Even among those who drive German.
The car in question, an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Q4 Bianco Lunare, is equipped with a 280 hp 2.0 turbo petrol engine, all-wheel drive and an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. With its black wheels, small carbon-effect spoiler and matching diffuser, it embodies the perfect balance between sportiness and refinement - the kind of car that turns heads, even those of a law enforcement officer.
At a time when the Alfa Romeo Giulia, despite its recognized qualities, is becoming increasingly rare on Italian roads, this episode is a reminder that, for many, it remains "the most beautiful car in the world that nobody buys anymore".

Very touching little note about the Giulia, I've owned one for 7 years and I doubt it will happen in France!
e stupenda, il carabiniere lo sa che sappiamo fare le macchine con il cuore e con la Testa in Italia macchine fatte da Noi Italiani
E come mai ha acquistato una BMW?
This carabiniere who puts down a kind word is so right. The Giulia is by far the most beautiful sedan on the market, with the best chassis (the Giorgio platform is a pure marvel), and unrivalled driving pleasure in its class, yet sales are so modest. The malus is a handicap, but the malus has only become a deterrent in recent years.
Makes you wonder if drivers are only interested in tasteless movers with XL multimedia screens.
I couldn't agree more!
Stimmt alles ,die Giulia ist eben ein Schmuckstück , man kann sie nicht vergleichen mit den SUV
Hallo Stanislas, du sprichst mir aus der Seele. Ich selbst fahre einen Stelvio. Der schönste SUV den ich je gefahren bin, mit wunderschönem Multimedia-Bildschirm.
Right on, can't agree more.
All Alfa's are underrated and sneered at , it will never go away my first alfa was 1965 sprint GT, it was always looked upon as a thing of class but even in Those days 1973 people scoffed and bought a cortina escort vauxhall sunbeam etc But i still have my Alfa's ❤️😃 once an Alfa Man always ✝️🙏
Ich durfte die Giulia Veloce Q4 fünf Jahre lang fahren, bis die Polen mir die Schöne geklaut haben. Es war die Schönste und das beste Auto, was ich je gefahren habe. Eine Neuanschaffung 2023 bei der Diebstahlrate hier in Berlin, das musste ich mir verkneifen. Habt Dank dafür ihr Politiker, für die völlig unkontrollierten Grenzen...
I couldn't agree more, I've owned a Giulia for 5 years now, and I'm still just as enthusiastic about driving it, it's a magnificent car.
Questa storia sa un po' di patriottismo... sempre sia reale... e non il solito tentativo di rivalsa degli alfisti verso le auto tedesche specialmente Bmw...questa storia mi sembra sia la solota storiella inventata... tanto per blasonate il marchio alfa romeo e la Giuliase fosse vera perche` non fare vedere la Bmw parcheggiata accanto e il bigliettino trovato sotto il tergicristallo invece della sola foto dell' Alfa Giulia?? Semplice perche` e una soria fake...ma la cosa che fa piu` ridere e` che in molti ci hanno creduto🤣🤣
Ich kann an diesem Auto nichts außergewöhnliches finden. Das Stufenheck wirkt befremdlich. Wie aus der Zeit gefallen.
I bought this exact model in the States and it seems to have the same color (different color name however) as my car's midnight grey metallic... I really wanted rosso red, I couldn't get a hold of one. But now I appreciate this car's color and how it reflects light in different hues depending on angle and type of light. It's intriguing to view and I look forward to keeping it a long time.
