Personal life

Vandelli was educated at Hill House, Thomas's and St. Paul's Boys’ School and read for a degree in Art History at University College London. Vandelli is the only son of Marzio Vandelli, an Italian businessman and former tile factory owner, and Diane Casserley Vandelli. While promotional material associated with Vandelli often claims that his mother is a descendant of the aristocratic Russian Orlov-Romanovsky family, she is largely of English descent with some distant Irish ancestry and one Russian great-great-grandmother who emigrated to England in the nineteenth century as an impoverished orphan.
