Marie Brandolini d'Adda di Valmareno (née Angliviel de la Beaumelle; 7 April 1963 – 30 May 2013) was a French-Italian glass maker.

Early life and family

[edit]

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.[citation needed] Her maternal grandfather was Baron Alain de Rothschild. On her father's side she is a distant relation to Laurent Angliviel de la Beaumelle. After her father died, her mother remarried Pierre Rosenberg in 1981.[2]

Adult life

[edit]

She married Brandino Brandolini d'Adda, the son of Brandolino Brandolini d'Adda, Conte di Valmareno, a descendant of a Venetian patrician family and Cristiana Agnelli, in November 1987 in Paris.[3] The couple had three sons: Guido, Marcantonio, and Gioacchino. 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 1994.[4][3][5] She also served as the president of the French Alliance of Venice, which promoted French culture in Italy.[5] She was also a patron of the Murano Glass Museum and the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia.[6] She has discussed the process she uses to make glass art in the media, including in Architectural Digest.[7]

Death

[edit]

She died from cancer, aged 50, on 30 May 2013.[8][9][10] She was given a Catholic funeral at the Church of the Transfiguration of Jesus in Vistorta.[11][12] 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."[13] Upon her death, her son Marcantonio took over the company Laguna~B.[14]
