Giovanni Agnelli (better known as Gianni Agnelli) was an outstanding Italian industrialist and Fiat's shareholder. Being a head of the major automobile company, he controlled 4.4 % of Italy's GNP.
Apart from his economical activities he was also a prominent public figure famous for his irreproachable, slightly eccentric fashion sense. Agnelli was an influential trendsetter of the Italian and international men's fashion. Milanese fashion designer Nino Cerruti called the industrialist one of his greatest inspirators. Esquire Magazine included him in the top five of the best dressed men in the history of the world.
Vittoriano Complex is hosting an exhibition devoted to the extraordinary life of Agnelli, which features photos, film footage and documentaries. Don't miss the event!
