Ida Copeland
Ida Copeland (née Fenzi; 1875–29 June 1964) was an Anglo-Italian British politician, born and raised in Florence, Italy.
==Family and early life==
Great granddaughter of Count Emanuele Fenzi, and daughter of Count Camillo Fenzi (died 1883), Senator of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, a banker, and his wife, Evelyne Isabella, daughter of Sir Douglas Strutt Galton and Marianne (née Nicholson), a first cousin of Florence Nightingale. In 1898, her mother married Leonard Daneham Cunliffe, an influential London financier, Governor of the Bank of England, President of the Hudson's Bay Company and one of the major investors in the Harrods department stores.〔(Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) profile )〕 In 1907 Cunliffe joined HBC's Board, replacing the retiring Sir Sandford Fleming. Two years later Cunliffe invited Harrods' Managing Director Sir Richard Burbidge to accompany him to Canada to inspect the Company's retail business. Upon his death in August 1937, Cunliffe left a considerable bequest to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
''Leonard Daneham Cunliffe left to the Fitzwilliam a collection whose breadth and splendour enriched almost every department. It ranged from ancient and Renaissance bronzes, paintings, drawings, prints and portrait miniatures to enamels, furniture, textiles, pottery and metal plate, including an exquisite Nautilus shell cup made in London c. 1585-1586.
Cunliffe's treasures provided a grand finale to Sir Sydney Cockerell's Directorship. "A very important bequest has come to the Fitzwilliam", he wrote in September 1937, "just in time to be included in my spoils".''
