Exploring the charm of GIULIA TRIBUTO ITALIANO with Tom.

If you want to enjoy driving, drive an Italian car. I feel like I've heard that line before, but maybe not. Design, performance, history... There are many reasons to fall in love with cars, but Italian cars surely have it all. Italian cars are loved by so-called car enthusiasts. The car we're looking at today is the Giulia Tributo Italiano by ALFA ROMEO, which is equipped with colors and exclusive parts that seem to embody the charm of Italian cars.

We would like to share with you a report of our three-hour drive, in which we experienced the magnificent, top-level sportiness that brings together Alfa Romeo's sensibility and technology.

  • Despite its compact appearance and low center of gravity, the interior is spacious and extremely comfortable.

  • The company was named

    The company was named "Julia" to echo the "Romeo" in the story of Romeo and Juliet.

  • The emblem features a red cross and a snake. The red cross was originally the emblem of the city of Milan, and the snake was the coat of arms of the Visconti family.

  • The 19-inch, dark-finished aluminum wheels in a 5-wheel design and the red brake calipers create a stylish look for your feet.

The man who sat in the passenger seat was Tom, otherwise known as Toyoki Kato. As a former police officer, my hands were a little more tense than usual as I held the wheel, but I remember the atmosphere in the car instantly becoming more relaxed as he spoke softly and fluently told stories.

"If you go to Noge, let's go to Afro Tacos! A friend of mine runs it and it's really delicious."

I felt that this comment summed up the person that Tom is. His quick thinking allowed him to understand the contents of the plan and instantly propose a plan, his choice of location taking into consideration that the driver and cameraman were young, his connections with people in all genres... They say that people who are good at their jobs are good at capturing people's hearts, and Tom is a perfect example of that.
