RADIO ALFA - ALFINA NINNOLO - THE SMALLEST TUBE RADIO - COLLECTOR’S ITEM - EXTREMELY RARE Tube radio

Radio Alfina (Ninnolo) – Small, Precious, Irresistible

A real gem for collectors and vintage radio enthusiasts!
Produced by Alfa Radio in 1955, the Alfina (Ninnolo) is one of the smallest vacuum tube radios ever made: just 15 cm wide. A concentrate of style and elegance, slightly larger than its famous 'cousin' Gnomo, but just as precious and fascinating.

The design is enchanting: the ivory-colored bakelite case highlights its compact and harmonious shape, while the gilded talking scale, embellished with the cursive writing Ninnolo, adds a touch of sophistication. The two side knobs complete the retro aesthetic, making it a unique and irresistible piece.

Perfect to display on a desk or in a collection of unique pieces. A precious object that combines history, beauty, and miniature engineering. Anyone who owns it holds a small vintage treasure.
