Gianni Agnelli, was an Italian industrialist and principal shareholder of Fiat. As a public figure, Agnelli was also known worldwide for his impeccable, slightly eccentric fashion sense. He was named after his grandfather Giovanni Agnelli, the founder of Fiat.
In1953 he married Donna Marella Caracciolo dei principi di Castagneto — a half-American, half-Neapolitan noblewoman. Despite marriage, Agnelli was a noted playboy who kept many mistresses.
Agnelli’s dress style was a combination of classic suits, combined with eye-catching personal tricks. His suits were bespoke Caraceni, which were of very high quality and classic design. But it was the accessories and the way they were worn that made Agnelli stand out as a fashionisto. He was known for wearing his wristwatch over his cuff, wearing his tie askew or wearing high brown hiking boots under a bespoke suit. All these tricks were carefully chosen in order to convey sprezzatura, the Italian art of making the difficult look easy.
