The Agnelli family (Italian pronunciation: [aɲˈɲɛlli]) is an Italian multi-industry business dynasty family founded by Giovanni Agnelli, one of the original founders of the Fiat motor company which became Italy's largest automobile manufacturer.[1] They are also primarily known for other activities in the automotive industry by investing in Ferrari (1969), Lancia (1969), Alfa Romeo (1986) and Chrysler, the latter acquired by Fiat after it filed for bankruptcy in 2009. The Agnelli family is also known for managing, since 1923, and being majority investors of the conational Serie A football club Juventus F.C. since the club's conversion to a società a responsabilità limitata (similar to a limited liability company) in 1949,[2] as well as being the first shareholders of Sisport. Most members of the family are stakeholders in privately owned Giovanni Agnelli B.V., which in turn has a controlling stake in the publicly listed holding company Exor.

The family has sometimes been described in the US world as "the Kennedys of Italy" for their role in the country's contemporary history and their activity of patronage in modern art and in sports.[3] As of 2020, the extended Agnelli family comprised about two hundred members.[3]
