Congratulations are in order for Talita von Fürstenberg, as the ultimate society princess has announced her engagement to her Italian banking scion boyfriend, Rocco Brignone de Brabant. The granddaughter of legendary fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg announced the news with a characteristically glamorous Instagram photo on Friday, 1 August, and it’s safe to say that the gilded set is delighted.
In the dusky pink glow of a sunset, the soon-to-be bride and groom reach in for a kiss, silhouetted against an oceanic backdrop. It’s a paradisical picture, and no doubt the wedding will be just as stunning. ‘Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!’ Talita wrote in the caption, ‘I love you so much my heart is bursting.’ And for a woman as well-connected as Talita von Fürstenberg, you can bet the congratulatory comments were a veritable who’s who of European nobility.
Talita descends from the Princely Family of Fürtstenberg through her father, Prince Alexander von Fürstenberg, through whom she is a scion of the Italian Agnelli dynasty. Her great-great-grandparents were Edoardo Agnelli and Virginia Bourbon del Monte, whose son, Gianni Agnelli, was the richest man in modern Italian history.
