WIKI: The Agnelli family (Italian pronunciation:
[aɲˈɲɛlli]) is an Italian multi-industry business dynasty
founded by Giovanni Agnelli, one of the original founders of
Fiat motor company which became Italy's largest
manufacturer.[1] They are also primarily known for other
activities in the automotive industry by investing
in Ferrari (1969), Lancia (1969), Alfa Romeo (1986) and Chrysler,
the latter acquired by Fiat after it filed for
bankruptcy in 2009. The Agnelli family is also known for
managing, since 1923, and being majority investors of the
connational Serie A football club Juventus F.C. since the
club's conversion to a limited private company in 1949,[2] as
well as being the first shareholders of Sisport. Most
members of the family are stakeholders in privately owned
Giovanni Agnelli B.V., which in turn has a controlling
stake in the publicly listed holding company Exor.
The family has sometimes been described in the
English-speaking world as "the Kennedys of Italy" for
their role in the country's contemporary history and their
activity of patronage in modern art and in sports.[3] As of
2020, the extended Agnelli family comprised about two hundred
members.[3]
