I have this car as Alfa Romeo 40/60 Aerodinamica Torpedo by Castagna. It beloged to Count Ricotti. I think this car dates from 1915, Im not sure but it looks as a modification of the Alfa Romeo 40/60 Aerodinamica from 1914 designed by Castagna.

The point goes to Serra.

My sources describe this car as a 1914 A.L.F.A. Aerodinamica Torpedo 40/60HP by Castagna.  I believe Castagna only built one such car, but I haven't found records to indicate when the top was removed or added.
