Giovanni Agnelli was born on 13 August 1866. In 1899, he founded Fiat S.p.A., steering the company through Italy's early industrialization as automobiles moved from curiosity to necessity. Under his direction, Fiat grew into a pillar of the national economy, shaping how Italy moved and made things. He entered the Senate in 1923 and held the seat until 1944. He died on 16 December 1945, leaving behind the industrial architecture of modern Italy.
