The Last Dynasty, a new book on the fabled Agnelli family by American author Jennifer Clark, has been published by Solferino Libri in Italian.
, is the Italian version of Camelot if there ever was one — complete with the grit, glamour, tragedy and decades of incredible fashion.
The nonfiction book traces the family’s roots back to its formidable family patriarch, Giovanni Agnelli, a senator who was one of the founders of Fiat in 1899 and who Clark describes as the “Henry Ford of Italy.
In addition to his own marital issues, Gianni struggled with his brother Giorgio’s schizophrenia in the ’60s and later with his son Edoardo’s drug problems. Starting with Edoardo’s tragic death when he jumped off a bridge in 2000, Clark propels the story into the 21st century with an in-depth portrait of the inheritance battle over Gianni’s estate, which continues to evolve between his daughter Margherita and her three children from her first marriage.
“I had worked with John Elkann and other family members for my first book, and we had established a relationship of trust. For my new book, I met several times with John Elkann in his office, and with other family members who generously invited me into their homes. I am very grateful that they trusted me with telling this story,” she said.
