Who is the biographr of Gianni Agnelli, grandson of the founder of Fiat?


Recommended Posts

I am chronicling the history of this one off Ferrari 375 built for him by Pininfarina but wanted to mention Gianni's wartime history, including being wounded on the Russian front twice and the third time being shot in North Africa. So I wondered if there is a biographer who is really steeped in the Agnelli family history, and if anyone has the author's name and publishing company's name so I could check that out. I think one of the funny things about Agnelli is that he wore his watch strap outside of his shirt, which I attribute to his naval service, in that a lot of things are calculated by your watch. If a torpedo is headed toward you, and you know how many feet it travels per second, you can tell how much time you have by your second hand but if you have to fiddle around finding your watch, you're dead

Or maybe he just wanted to show off his watch.

Anyhow love to hear an amusing Agnelli story...
