Giulietta (-vue-de-dos), 1993, by Bertrand Lavier. A crashed 1970s Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT which the artist found in a wrecker's yard and repurposed as an art piece. I have seen a post which claims the car belonged to the artist and he crashed it but I don't think this is true because I have read an interview with him where he talks about the work and doesn't mention that it was his car. He also doesn't explain why he called the work "Giulietta" when it's actually at Alfetta GT

Alfa Romeo Alfasud Ti
If you were to suggest the perfect combination of automotive ingredients then German engineering with Italian styling could very well be the perfect blend. And in the case of the Alfa Romeo Alfasud it resulted in a ground-breaking car.
At the tail end of the 1960s Alfa Romeo still belonged to the Italian state, which had taken over the reins in the 1930s via the Institute for Industrial Reconstruction. The agency was created in the wake of the economic crisis of 1929 by Benito Mussolini’s regime to shield Italian banks from bankruptcy.
Alfa Romeo needed to introduce a new entry-level model to help it compete with its home market rivals at the time, notably Fiat, Lancia and Simca. The company decided that a front-wheel-drive car was the way to go, and settled on the name Alfasud. Sud simply means south in Italian and Alfa planned to take advantage of government incentives to produce goods in the poorest parts of southern Italy.
Alfa owned some land at Pomigliano d’Arco on the outskirts of Naples, where they manufactured aero engines. After much deliberation over whether to move an existing production line south, the company decided to build a new one from scratch.
The development project for the started in 1967 under the leadership of German engineer Rudolf Hruska, who had worked previously for Porsche and Volkswagen, and the styling was entrusted to Giorgetto Giugiaro, the man behind cars like the Lotus Esprit and Ferrari 250.
Due to the inexperience of many of those working at the assembly plant (many of them had also worked on the construction of the plant itself) the quality of the cars produced in those first years was questionable. Rust proofing was non-existent and these early examples soon gained a reputation for corroding at an alarming rate.
But teething troubles aside, the car itself was a big hit with drivers, who loved its rev-happy four cylinder boxer engine, which gave the ’Sud a very low roll centre, leading to class leading handling. This enthusiasm led to the Alfasud Sprint in 1976.
Sitting below the Alfetta GTV/GTV6 in the range, the initial Sprints were offered in 1300cc format. The Sprint was mechanically identical to the saloons. Body wise it was a very different animal, being an inch wider and four inches lower.
1982 saw the whole range updated – chrome was out and plastic was in. This gave the Sprint a fresh new look. The 1350cc engines were also discontinued, leaving the 1300 as the entry level sprint and the 1500 as the standard bearer. Eventually, the 1712cc engine would be dropped into the car, as well, the last models leaving Alfa’s southern factory in 1989.

Technical brilliance met qualitative ignorance. Alfa Romeo drivers may know what we're talking about. Alfetta 2.0 sedan (1977 to 1984), with disc brakes all around as standard. Its transaxle principle (50:50 weight distribution) would not be adopted by Porsche until a few years later, initially in the 924, and later also in the 928, 944 and 968. "A revolution at the time", Porsche boasts. But Alfa Romeo and, even earlier, Lancia brought transaxle technology into series production way earlier.
