Pennant of Reale Automobile Club d'Italia (RACI), 34x19 cm, between 1927 and
1946.
The club originated as the "Automobile Club of Turin" founded in Turin
on 6 December 1898. It first became a national association in 1905, named
Automobile Club d'Italia, when it joined together with other local automotive
clubs. In 1927 the corporate body was formed by royal decree, with the task of
promoting and regulating the car sector and to represent car owners' interests
in the country.
The corporation was called the Reale Automobile Club d'Italia
(RACI, "Royal Automobile Club of Italy") from then until 1946, when the monarchy
was abolished, and it dropped the royal appellation. Since then, the original
name Automobile Club d'Italia has been used again.
