Marella Agnelli: The Last Swan by Marella Agnelli and Marella Caracciolo Chia.

Marella’s collaborations with the greatest tastemakers of the 20th century

What is most exciting about Marella Agnelli’s autobiography is how generous she is in sharing her life with us. Since her stories have been told so often by others, it was refreshing to hear them from her point of view.

Her focus on the design of each of her homes and gardens is an invaluable contribution to the history of interior and garden design, as she gives us her perspective on some of the most famous projects and tastemakers of the 20th century: Stéphane Boudin (Parisian interior designer with Maison Jansen), Russell Page (British Gardener), Amedeo Albertini (Italian architect), Gae Aulenti (Italian architect), Ward Bennett (American designer), Renzo Mongiardino (Italian interior designer), Paolo Pejrone (Italian landscape architect), Peter Marino (American interior designer), Alberto Pinto (Parisian interior designer), Bill Willis (American designer), Madison Cox (American garden designer), and Niki de Saint Phalle (French-American artist).
