Description

Chronicles the rollercoaster ride of Maurizio Gucci, from Guccio Gucci's leather shop in the early 1900s to the Investscorp takeover of the multimillion dollar corporation in 1993 and Maurizio's 1995 murder by his ex-wife.

Did Patrizia Reggiani murder her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci, in 1995 because his spending was wildly out of control? Did she do it because her glamorous ex was preparing to marry his mistress? Or is there a possibility she didn't do it at all? Forden takes us behind the ascent, eventual collapse, and resurrection of the Gucci dynasty, and the trial, to expose the passions, the power and the vulnerabilities of the Gucci family. -- adapted from back cover
