Aniceta Frisetti
Aniceta Frisetti (Turin, 1846 – Turin, 28 October 1920) was an Italian philanthropist. She became a member of the Agnelli family as she got married with Edoardo Agnelli.
She was the daughter of Knight Giovanni Frisetti and Anna Lavista. Her father belonged to a wealthy family and also had close business relationships with Giuseppe Francesco Agnelli, the father of her first husband Edoardo. Aniceta participated - together with other noble women originally from the Piedmont of the end of the 19th century - in the relaunch of the "Bandera" embroidery, founding the first laboratory school specialised in embroidery for artistic but also humanitarian purposes.[1] Soon afterwards the laboratory school was named "Scuola Bandera Piemontese Torino" and was directed by Countess Sofia Cacherano di Bricherasio. Moreover, she financed a variety of cultural and welfare societies, such as the prestigious "Accademia di canto corale Stefano Tempia".[2]
Aniceta, wife and then widow of Edoardo Agnelli, married Commander Luigi Lampugnani on 15 January 1883.[3][4]
