As Gianni's mother was, Marella is half-American; her own mother came from Peoria, Ill., and, on a trip to Italy, met and married Prince Filippo, Duke of Melito. Agnelli has played down the playboy image, but he still is occasionally the last man out of a nightclub. Recalling his earlier years, he says: "People had fun because they wanted to.

...that do well in an unusual mixed economy where 20% to 25% of industry is held by government-controlled corporations. These corporations, which are concentrated in steel, transportation, construction and other basic industries, often have a privileged access to capital that leaves smaller private companies short of cash-an ill that has never befallen Fiat...
