yes, and an interesting history. i was a car show in Dublin a few years ago where, for most, the attraction was the appearance of a certain Mr Schumacher, in town on a Ferrari promo tour. altho i would have an interest in F1, for myself the prescence of an Alfa Romeo factory collection was the reason i went. i felt their was a spirit, a mood, just something about being in their (the cars) midst. they are simply gorgeous cars in the flesh, from their early racers to (at the time) Nuvloari concept. naturally, the Italian atmosphere was extended to the sharply suited, very friendly Alfistas, who were delighted to engage you in any detail, encouraging you to share in their passion.
as for the history of the badge, this will tell you all -
