Nicola Romeo reorganised the company after WW I and by 1920, he had added his own name to the badge while removing the acronym style of spelling ALFA. When they won their first World Championship in 1925 a large laurel wreath was placed around the badge (Mercedes, too, has one of these on their radiator badge for the same reason). In 1932, the French branch of the company had enough pull to have "Paris" replace "Milano" on the badges of all cars heading for that country (if you have one of these you really do have a collectors' item!).
