The House of Gucci. The Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed

On the morning of March 27, 1995, four gunshots rang out on the elegant streets of Milan. Maurizio Gucci, the heir of the legendary fashion dynasty, was killed on the doorstep of his office. Two years later, the chief of police of Milan entered the luxurious palazzo of Maurizio's ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani, whom the press dubbed the "Black Widow," and arrested her for murder. Did Patrizia kill her ex-husband to inherit his fortune? Or did she do it out of jealousy over his new bride? Or maybe someone else killed Maurizio—because he lost control of the fashion empire and nearly ruined the family business? The story of the Gucci dynasty is a dizzying journey into the world of high fashion, sparkle, and glamour, big money—and equally big scandals, intrigues, and personal tragedies. Meticulously researched, beautifully written, and internationally acclaimed, the book "The House of Gucci" tells the thrilling story of murder, madness, glamour, and greed.
