We’ve searched the worldwide web for far too long now, all to no avail. What we liked to have found there, was the location used for this lovely Alfa-Romeo publicity shot. All we know is that it’s probably taken in Switzerland, since the ‘Duetto’ Spider was launched in Geneva in 1966 (50 years ago, oh yes, the Dustin Hoffman - Anne Bancroft 'Graduate' fame came one year later). And then, the car may wear Italian plates, but the backdrop oozes classic chalets and Glühwein. This sister shot doesn't really help much either.
Oh - there aren’t many places where you can go in a fur coat without being vandalized anymore, but Gstaad, Verbiers or St Moritz will still do nicely. But then these places may have classy palace hotels rather than towering Club Med resorts? Who helps us finding this location?
