Susanna Agnelli, Contessa Rattazzi, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI¹ (born April 24, 1922) is an Italian politician and writer. She is the only woman to have been Minister of Foreign Affairs in Italy.

Biography

Born in Turin, she is the daughter of Eduardo Agnelli and Donna Virginia Bourbon del Monte, a daughter of the Prince di San Faustino and his Kentucky-born wife Jane Campbell. Her brother Gianni Agnelli was the head of Fiat in which the Agnelli family hold the controlling interest. The family also held investments which represented the largest percentage of the Italian stockmarket. In 1945 she married count Urbano Rattazzi with whom she had six children and later divorced.

She was elected to the Italian Parliament in 1976 for the Italian Republican Party (PRI), becoming a senator in 1983. Also for PRI, she was a member of the European Parliament in 1979-1981. She also served as mayor of Porto Santo Stefano.²

Her autobiography Vestivamo alla marinara (1983) was a bestseller in Italy.

She divides her time between New York City and Italy and she has long been a loyal fan of Robert Denning, of Denning & Fourcade, who has designed over 15 homes for her in Manhattan, South America and Italy.³.
