Product Information

Guccio had five children with his wife, Aida: Grimalda, Vasco, Aldo, Rodolpho and Enzo, who died at the age of nine.When the patriarch died, he left the business to his 3 sons and excluded his daughter and her husband who helped grow the business.

The Gucci family takes note of the release of the film “House of Gucci” with some bewilderment because, although the work claims to want to tell the “true story” of the family, the fears aroused by the trailers and interviews released so far, are confirmed: the film carries one narrative that is far from accurate.By 1985, the union had soured, and Maurizio left the marriage “without warning”, according to The New York Times. Rodolfo, still stubbornly pursuing his confrontation with Maurizio, refused to consider sharing company ownership with him, but Aldo felt it was time to bring his boys into the Gucci mother company. Patrizia devises a plot to obtain controlling interest in Gucci by acquiring some of Aldo and Paolo's shares (the other 50%). Every human creature,” he used to say, “has three essential things that must always be in harmony among themselves: a heart, a brain, and a wallet.

The book is, at times, too detailed about fashion history and techniques, and some may find the author's use of dramatic re-creations annoying.Later, he asks her for a divorce through his long-time assistant Domenico De Sole, which she refuses. When Maurizio's business plans harm the company, he seeks assistance from equity company Investcorp, through which he hatches a scheme to acquire shares of the company from a now-impoverished Paolo.
