Early life and family

Marie Angliviel de la Beaumelle was born on April 7, 1963 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine.[1] Her father was Armand Angliviel de la Beaumelle, a member of a prominent haute bourgeois family from Languedoc,[1] and her mother was Baroness Béatrice Juliette Ruth de Rothschild, a member of the aristocratic Rothschild family. Her maternal grandfather was Baron Alain de Rothschild. On her father's side she is a distant relation to Laurent Angliviel de la Beaumelle. Her parents later divorced and her mother remarried Pierre Rosenberg in 1981.[2]

Adult life

She married Count Brandolino Brandolini d'Adda, the son of Brandolino Brandolini d'Adda, Conte di Valmareno and Cristiana Agnelli, in November 1987 in Paris.[3] The couple had three sons: Guido, Marcantonio, and Gioacchino.[4] They resided in the Palazzo Brandolini on the Grand Canal in Venice and at Vistorta, a family estate in Friuli.[3]

Angliviel de la Beaumelle worked as a contemporary glass designer in Venice, founding the company Laguna B in 1996.[5][6][3][7][8] She also served as the president of the French Alliance of Venice, which promoted French culture in Italy.[9] She was also a patron of the Murano Glass Museum and the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia.[9]

Death

She died, after battling cancer, on 30 May 2013.[10][11][12] She was given a Catholic funeral at the Church of the Transfiguration of Jesus in Vistorta.[13][14] After her death, the Mayor of Venice, Giorgio Orsoni, offered his condolences to the Brandolini d'Adda family and referred to Angliviel de la Beaumelle as "a friend of Venice, a tireless animator of the cultural and artistic life of the Lagoon."[15] Upon her death, her son Marcantonio took over the company Laguna B.[16]
