Inge Feltrinelli (née Schönthal; 24 November 1930 – 20 September 2018) was a German-born Italian photographer, journalist, editor and publisher; she was the third wife of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli. After his death, she ran his publishing house Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore with their son Carlo. Inge Schönthal was born on 24 November 1930 in Göttingen. Her father, textile manufacturer Siegfried Schönthal was of Jewish descent, when Hitler raised to power Inge's mother Trudl helped him escape to the Netherlands and then to the USA in 1938. Trudl remarried soon after; her new husband Otto was a German officer who helped to save Inge from the Nazis. However, Inge's Jewish background led to her expulsion from a Gymnasium (secondary school) in Göttingen. She recalled post-war years as full of terror, when the Nazis atrocities became known, and hunger and poverty. After World War II, Inge moved to Hamburg where she met Rosmarie Pierer. Pieter taught her the basics of photography and inspired her to pursue a career in journalism. In Hamburg she met an arms dealer who offered her a free passage to the USA on a cargo ship.
