Princess Ira von Fürstenberg died on February 19, 2024, in Rome, Italy. She
was 83. She was born Virginia Carolina Theresa Pancrazia Galdina zu Fürstenberg
in Rome on April 17, 1940, and was Chiara Agnelli and Prince Tassilo von
Furstenberg’s eldest daughter. Ira was an undisputed protagonist of the
worldliness of the last century. Her marriage in Venice to Prince Alfonso of
Hohenlohe-Langenburg, in 1955, when she was just 15 years old, was the first
major post-war event. Ira, a restless girl, after having given birth to two
children, ran away with the Basilian millionaire and playboy Baby Pignatari,
from whom she separated a few years later. She spent part of her youth tackling
the adventure of cinema and then dedicated herself to public relations in the
fashion sector. Her only Spaghetti western was as Hester McDonald Morton in “Deaf
Smith and Johnny Ears in 1973.
