I never heard of an aluminum body model in the regular cars. A few had magnesium transmission cases to save a few pounds. Some of the slightly earlier Giulia spider models has slipper skirt pistons, to reduce rotating weight. I owned:
67 GTV
66 Giulia Spider with 1600 cc engine and disc brakes. Great year for that model.
69 GTV
71 Berlina
I had heard of some factory aluminum body Giulias, maybe I misread and it was only some panels or a race series car.

Now that you mention it, this does sound familiar. My days as an Alfa mechanic were long ago, so a few things have slipped my mind. Alfa did make a lot of variations over the years, so it is very possible.
