Giorgio Agnelli

Giorgio Agnelli (Turin, 12 May 1929 – Rolle, 11 May 1965) was a member of Agnelli family.[1][2]

He was the second son of Virginia Agnelli (born Donna Virginia Bourbon del Monte) and of the industrialist Edoardo Agnelli. His brother, Gianni Agnelli, was the head of Fiat until 1996. He studied at Harvard University in the United States. Unlike the other members of the family, he could not participate in industrial and financial activities due to a serious illness. He died at age 35 in a Swiss clinic at Lake Geneva, where he had been treated for a long time.[3] According to the poetess Marta Vio, who was his companion for ten years, Giorgio had long suffered from schizophrenia. They met in 1946 on the beach of Forte dei Marmi, the holiday resort of the Agnelli family.[4]
