Welcomed as only Milan knows how, Inge shared values, passions and problems of our being a community. Curious about issues and endowed with an intimate cheerfulness, she also gave us much by assuring us of a continuous vision of cultural life open to the world. I will miss her greatly, we were bound together by a deep esteem but, above all, a great affection.”

In a note, Cultural Heritage Minister Alberto Bonisoli wrote, “Inge Feltrinelli represented for the world of publishing and culture a fundamental point of reference for the past decades. Thanks to her courage and ideas, this woman of extraordinary artistic, entrepreneurial and intellectual abilities has lifted the fortunes of one of the most prestigious publishing houses on the Italian scene. I have always admired her tenacity, her story and her intelligence. Today the world of culture mourns the passing of a great representative of her time.”
