Title: Thoughtful and intelligent writing
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this work by the granddaughter of Italy's FIAT founder, Eduardo Agnelli (her brother was the well-groomed successor Gianni Agnelli).It's always a little surprising to hear how simply most aristocratic and royal families live, it's considered a sign of manners and good breeding. And rather refreshing in this age of excess, where rich and poor alike seem determined to set a new standard for greed and self-indulgence. She lived in tumultuous times (Mussolini, WWII), but she tells her story from a strictly personal viewpoint: her family troubles, her experiences in school, her months of nursing during the war. She was a sensitive and intelligent woman who went on to achieve great things in Italy, a country where women still seem to be 6 paces behind the men. Thoughtfully-told recollections, if you like intelligent writing, you will likely appreciate this one.
