Victor Adda (b. 1885 Alexandria; d.1965 Rome)
Thence by descent
From a Cairene banking family which had been in Egypt since at least the 18th century, Victor Adda headed the family cotton trading business in Egypt. At one time vice-president of the Archaeological Society of Alexandria, he formed an important collection of coins and antiquities. Adda came to Europe following the Jewish expulsion from Egypt in 1956-57, and died in Rome in 1965.
