Inge Feltrinelli (née Schönthal; 24 November 1930 – 20 September 2018) was a German-born Italian photographer and director, who with her son Carlo ran the Italian publishing house Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore.
Biography
Inge Schönthal was born on 24 November 1930, before her father, who was of Jewish descent, moved to the Netherlands in 1938. Her Jewish background led to her expulsion from a Gymnasium (secondary school) in Göttingen.[1]
After
She met Italian left-wing publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli in 1958, whom she later married in Mexico and followed to Milan (he had two previous marriages). She took charge of international relations for the publishing house and eventually became the de facto head of the publishing house, as Feltrinelli a few years later embraced the "struggle for the revolution against imperialism".[3][4]
In 1969, she was named vice-president in a company restructure decided by Feltrinelli (who remained President in name only) in anticipation of his transition to clandestine activities.
