The Gucci Secret. The Truth That Was Waiting for Its Time

Allegra Gucci never gave interviews and publicly discussed the murder of her father Maurizio Gucci, for which her mother Patricia Reggiani was recognized as the perpetrator. And she might not have broken this peculiar vow of silence if it weren't... for Ridley Scott's film "House of Gucci." She hoped that the film would tell the story of the dynasty, their traditions, the creation and development of the brand. But the screenwriters focused on the relationship between Maurizio and Patricia, creating yet another gripping blockbuster. Allegra's dissatisfaction was shared by many others, including designer Tom Ford. Thus, this book was born - a story full of struggle, grief, hope, and disappointment.

Allegra's interpretation sheds light on the events of the distant 1995 and on what the main characters of the incident were really like. In her sincere and extremely candid account, presented in the form of letters to her late father, Allegra shared details of their life with her sister later on, as well as the trials they had to endure. For many years, Allegra believed that Patricia was innocent and even chose a career as a lawyer to defend her. But how bitterly disappointing it was for her when her mother confessed, after her release from prison, that it was indeed she who killed her father…

The book contains numerous compromising details, and a separate chapter is devoted to the analysis of the film "House of Gucci."
