FCA subsidiary performance brand Alfa Romeo boasts a rich history full of both triumph and tragedy. The brand's quadrifoglio, a four leaf clover surrounded by a triangle, has immortalized more than just legendary vehicles; it also symbolizes the enduring power of the people who have driven them. Notoriously second-place driver Ugo Sivocci sought to end his streak of bad luck in 1924 when he painted a four leaf clover inside a square on the side of his car. He won that race and claimed the symbol as his own. Tragically, while testing the Alfa Romeo P1, which did not include his symbol, he crashed and died. Since then, Alfa Romeo replaced the square with a triangle, the missing corner commemorating the loss of Ugo Sivocci. Learn more in the article below!
