Aniceta Frisetti (1846 – 28 October 1920) was an Italian philanthropist. She became a member of the Agnelli family when she married Edoardo Agnelli.[1] Born in Turin, the daughter of Knight Giovanni Frisetti and Anna Lavista, her father belonged to a wealthy family and had close business relationships with Giuseppe Francesco Agnelli, the father of her first husband. Along with other noble women originally from the late 19th-century Piedmont, she took part in the relaunch of the Bandera embroidery, and founded the first laboratory school specialised in embroidery for artistic and humanitarian purposes.[2]

Soon afterwards, the laboratory school was named Scuola Bandera Piemontese Torino and was directed by Countess Sofia Cacherano di Bricherasio. Moreover, Frisetti financed a variety of cultural and welfare societies, such as the prestigious Accademia Corale Stefano Tempia.[3] After the death of her husband in 1871, Aniceta married Commander Luigi Lampugnani on 15 January 1883.[4]
