Recently on a post at the Aesthete's Lament, the Aesthete confirmed the link between these two Devastating Beauties. Both Beauties are descended from the Neapolitan Caracciolo family- exactly the connections-I can not say.

Where did the image of the Agnelli's NYC apartment come from? Is this their apt. at 770 Park Ave? I didn't know it was ever published..
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful. And if you haven't seen the photo of her grandson Lapo on The Sartorialist (today? yesterday?) you must. That family - from Olga de M to the Avvocato to Marella to Lapo - WOW.
ReplyDeleteRubyH.The image is from the Sothebys
ReplyDeletecatalog of the sale in 2004 of items in the apt.
Not that I'm worshipping some species of foreign aristocracy, but I simply can't resist the Clifford Coffin photograph.
ReplyDeleteRosie that photograph is pretty smashing. I've had someone inquire about where it was taken-I have no clue.
