Marella Agnelli: The Last Swan

Marella Agnelli: The Last Swan reveals the exclusive world of one of the most glamorous women of the 20th century—nicknamed “The Swan” by Richard Avedon in his iconic 1953 portrait. Born Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto, a Neapolitan princess and wife of Gianni Agnelli (the Fiat magnate), she stood out for her innate elegance from her internship in New York with Erwin Blumenfeld and her contributions to Vogue. Photographed by Avedon, Irving Penn, Horst, and others, she collaborated with Renzo Mongiardino, Gae Aulenti, and Peter Marino on ten exceptional residences—from classic villas in Turin and Rome to ultramodern apartments in New York, St. Moritz, and Marrakech. Homes filled with priceless art, gardens, and visionary decor that reflect her impeccable taste and a modern fairy tale of love, glamour, and heartbreak.
