Andrea Agnelli’s relation to Neapolitan Nobility

Agnelli is the son of late Juventus F.C. chairman and senator of the Italian Republic Umberto Agnelli, who served as CEO of FIAT from 1970 to 1976, and Donna Allegra Caracciolo di Castagneto, who was born in 1945 and is Marella Agnelli’s first cousin.
