Edoardo Agnelli

Born in Verona, he was the only son of Giovanni Agnelli (1866–1945), principal founder of Fiat, and Clara Boselli (1869–1946). He married Donna Virginia Bourbon del Monte (1899–1945), daughter of Carlo Bourbon del Monte, Prince of San Faustino, and his Kentucky-born wife Jane Allen Campbell.

Agnelli and his wife had seven children:

Clara (1920–2016), wife of Prince Tassilo zu Fürstenberg, mother of Prince Egon von Fürstenberg and Princess Ira von Fürstenberg

Gianni (1921–2003)

Susanna (1922–2009), wife of Count Urbano Rattazzi

Cristiana (1927–2026), wife of Count Brandolino Brandolini d'Adda

Giorgio (1929–1965)

Agnelli's eldest son, Gianni, served as the head of Fiat from 1966 to 2003. He transformed the company into the most important in Italy and one of the major car builders in Europe. Agnelli's daughter Susanna was the first woman to become Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs. In the 21st century, his grandson Andrea Agnelli became chairman of Juventus.
