A hugely successful player in the New York financial world, he considers her to be his most treasured acquisition. But she needs more than simply the role of dazzling accessory.

Fabbri, an Italian count and associate of J. Pierpont Morgan, and his wife, Edith Shepard Fabbri, great-granddaughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt. The L-shaped Italian Renaissance-inspired house was designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, an American architect and town planner trained at L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, noted for the 1908 restoration of New York’s City Hall. The interior decoration was by Egisto Fabbri, Ernesto Fabbri’s brother, who incorporated Edith Fabbri’s collection of Italian Renaissance and Baroque furnishings and architectural fragments into his designs.
