Early life
Agnelli was the fourth child and third daughter of Edoardo Agnelli (1892–1935) and Virginia Bourbon del Monte (1899–1945). Her siblings are Clara Agnelli (1920–2016), Gianni Agnelli (1921–2003), Susanna Agnelli (1922–2009), Cristiana Agnelli (born 1927), Giorgio Agnelli (1929–1965), and Umberto Agnelli (1934–2004). She was the granddaughter of Giovanni Agnelli (1866–1945), founder of the Italian automobile maker Fiat S.p.A.
Political career
Agnelli was elected mayor of Campello sul Clitunno in 1960, a position she held until 1970 (the previous mayor was her first husband, Ranieri, Count Di Campello, mayor from 1952 until his death in 1959). She reportedly won without attending any campaign rallies, obtaining 850 votes from a pool of 1,200 voters. Her late husband's son, Rovero, followed in her footsteps, becoming mayor of Campello sul Clitunno between 1987 and 1990.
