**Susanna Agnelli, Contessa Rattazzi** [Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI](/source/Order_of_Merit_of_the_Italian_Republic) (24 April 1922 – 15 May 2009), was an Italian politician, businesswoman, and writer. Involved in [Italian politics](/source/Italian_politics) for over twenty years,[1] she was the first woman to be appointed [Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs](/source/Italian_Minister_of_Foreign_Affairs).[2][3] She was also the first Italian minister to be Minister of Foreign Affairs and [undersecretary](/source/Undersecretary_(Italy)) of the same ministry.[4]

## Early life

Agnelli was born in [Turin](/source/Turin), the daughter of [Edoardo Agnelli](/source/Edoardo_Agnelli_(entrepreneur%2C_born_1892)) and *Donna* [Virginia Bourbon del Monte](/source/Virginia_Bourbon_del_Monte), a daughter of the Prince of San Faustino and his Kentucky-born wife [Jane Allen Campbell](/source/Jane_Allen_Campbell).[5][6] Her grandfather, [Giovanni Agnelli](/source/Giovanni_Agnelli), founded [Fiat S.p.A.](/source/Fiat_S.p.A.)[7] She is the sister of [Gianni Agnelli](/source/Gianni_Agnelli),[8] who was the head of Fiat until 1996;[9][10][11] members of the [Agnelli family](/source/Agnelli_family) are still the controlling shareholders of the company.[2] Affectionally called Suni,[12][13][14] her British governess used to tell her: "Never forget you are an Agnelli."[15][16]

During World War II, Agnelli worked at times as a nurse for the [Red Cross](/source/Red_Cross), and when transport became unobtainable in the postwar chaos she used her connections with Fiat and the Allied military to establish for the Red Cross a fleet of five ambulances with ten drivers to transport injured and sick civilians.[17] Having graduated in [literature](/source/Literature), she received an [honorary degree](/source/Honorary_degree) in [law](/source/Law) from the Mount Holyoke University in 1984.[18]

## Politics

Politically, the Agnelli family sought to create a non-ideological, [centrist](/source/Centrist) political formation of [Atlanticist](/source/Atlanticist) and [pro-European](/source/Pro-European) persuasion that sought a modernizing, internationalist capitalism in contrast to the left and opposed to the populist, nationalist, or fascist right.[19] In 1974, Agnelli gained her first public appointment, when she became mayor of [Monte Argentario](/source/Monte_Argentario). Both her great-grandfather and grandfather, [Giovanni Agnelli](/source/Giovanni_Agnelli), had been mayors in their time. Agnelli served as mayor for a decade from 1974 to 1984. The experience inspired her to enter national politics. Agnelli was elected to the [Italian Parliament](/source/Italian_Parliament) in 1976 for the [Italian Republican Party](/source/Italian_Republican_Party) (PRI), of which her brother [Gianni Agnelli](/source/Gianni_Agnelli) was also close. In 1979, still for the PRI, she was an MEP in the [European Parliament](/source/European_Parliament) from 1979 to 1981 and sat in the [European Liberals and Democrats](/source/European_Liberals_and_Democrats) group.[20] In 1983, she returned to the Italian Parliament, becoming a member of the [Senate of the Republic](/source/Senate_of_the_Republic_(Italy)). The culmination of her political career was her appointment as the first female [Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs](/source/Italian_Minister_of_Foreign_Affairs) in 1995; it was not until 2013 that [Emma Bonino](/source/Emma_Bonino) became the next female incumbent of the post. Agnelli served for more than a year, which in the fragile politics of postwar Italy makes her one of the most long-lasting holders of the office.[2] One of her first meetings was with then [United States Secretary of State](/source/United_States_Secretary_of_State), [Warren Christopher](/source/Warren_Christopher).[21]

Agnelli was active in [environmentalist](/source/Environmentalist) causes.[2] Between the 1970s and 1980s, she was president of the [World Wildlife Fund](/source/World_Wildlife_Fund) and was the only Italian member of the [United Nations](/source/United_Nations) (UN) World Commission for the Environment and Development ([Brundtland Report](/source/Brundtland_Report)), later known as the [Brundtland Commission](/source/Brundtland_Commission). She also sat on the first board of the UN International Institute for Ageing.[22][23] Her mayoralty, which included a local [left-wing](/source/Left-wing) alliance between the self-styled PRI party of enlightened capitalism and the [Italian Communist Party](/source/Italian_Communist_Party), a party that held high esteem for her anti-speculation efforts, was characterized by soil defence.[16] As a mayor, she also expressed her favourable view about the new [abortion law in Italy](/source/Abortion_law_in_Italy) that legalized abortion, for which the city's bishop excommunicated her.[24][25]

From the early 1990s, Agnelli was president of the Steering Committee of [Telethon](/source/Telethon), which was founded in Italy in 1990.[26] In 1997, she set up the Il Faro Foundation,[18][27] a non-profit organization that aims to help Italian and foreign young people in difficulty in the labour market.[28][29] She had a popular mail column titled "Private answers" in the weekly magazine *[Oggi](/source/Oggi_(magazine))*.[30][31] In an interview to *[The Washington Post](/source/The_Washington_Post)* several years before her death, Agnelli discussed the most difficult part of politics. She said: "Sitting for days listening to people talk, talk, talk. Male politicians can stand up and talk to an empty house, where there are six people reading newspapers. I could never do that. It's such a waste of time."[32]

## Personal life and death

In 1945, Agnelli married Count Urbano Rattazzi Jr. (1918–2012),[33][34] the great-grandson of two-time prime minister [Urbano Rattazzi](/source/Urbano_Rattazzi) of the [Historical Left](/source/Historical_Left).[35] They had six children,[36] the youngest of whom is photographer [Priscilla Rattazzi](/source/Priscilla_Rattazzi), who said Agnelli loved [New York City](/source/New_York_City).[2] Until 1960, they lived in Argentina. The marriage was dissolved in 1975.[18] She divided her time between New York and Italy, and she was long a loyal fan of [Robert Denning](/source/Robert_Denning), of [Denning & Fourcade](/source/Denning_%26_Fourcade), who designed over 15 homes for her in [Manhattan](/source/Manhattan), [South America](/source/South_America), and Italy.[37]

Agnelli died in Rome on 15 May 2009, aged 87.[2] From 3 April 2009, she had been hospitalized at the [Agostino Gemelli University Policlinic](/source/Agostino_Gemelli_University_Policlinic) for over a month after severe femoral trauma due to an accidental fall at home.[18][38] After her death, she was mourned among the main political and cultural actors. Journalist [Enzo Biagi](/source/Enzo_Biagi) described Agnelly thusly: "They call her Suni; she is a courageous woman who above all has one merit: sincerity. Sometimes, in interviews, she too can say hasty things: but she's not a hypocrite or flatterer, she doesn't calculate. In forty days she wrote a book of memories, some even unpleasant: We Dressed in the Sailor Suit. It has sold 255,000 copies, has been translated into other languages, and won the Bancarella Prize."[18]

## Books

Agnelli wrote a number of books including *Vestivamo alla marinara* (1975),[39] *Gente alla deriva*(1980), *Ricordati Gualeguaychu*(1982), *Addio, addio mio ultimo amore* (1985), and *Questo libro è tuo* (1993).[40][41][42] Her 1975 autobiography was a bestseller in Italy and won the [Premio Bancarella](/source/Premio_Bancarella).[43]

## In popular culture

In 2022, Agnelli was the subject of an episode of the [RAI](/source/RAI) docu-series *Illuminate*.[44]
