Before Truman Capote’s Swans, there was the original: Marella Agnelli.
Gianni Agnelli was perhaps the catch when Marella married him.
In addition to being known as “the unofficial King of Italy”, he was also known to be a playboy.
Comparing Marella to Babe Paley, Truman noted, “if both were in Tiffany’s window, Marella would be slightly more expensive.”
However, “Truman was so self-absorbed that it took him a long while to realize Marella had taken him out of her life.”
