Sounds like your car is running too rich -- not a problem when it it's cold, 
but causing unburned fuel in the exhaust to "detonate" when everything is hot.

Your recent tune up may have resulted in too rich a mix.  I'd look into that 
first (misadjustment) rather than assuming something is "broken."

Another tip off would be fuel mileage or even clouds of wrong coming out the 
tailpipe.

An Alfa is never broken, sometimes just under the weather a bit.
