Ferrari and Stellantis chair John Elkann is embroiled in a legal dispute with his mother over a handwritten amendment to the will of the late Gianni Agnelli. The note, presented in court, raises questions about the inheritance of the holding company Dicembre, which controls Ferrari and Stellantis. Elkann's lawyers argue the document is irrelevant to the 2004 estate agreements, while his mother seeks a larger share for her children from her second marriage. The case highlights ongoing tensions within the Agnelli family regarding the distribution of wealth.
