Summary:
"Patricia
Gucci
was born a secret: the love child whose birth could have spelled ruination for her father, Aldo
Gucci
. It was the early 1960s, the halcyon days for Hollywood and European royalty, but also a time when having a child out of wedlock was illegal in Italy. Aldo couldn't afford a public scandal, nor could he resist his feelings for Patricia’s mother, his mistress
Bruna
, the paramour he met when she worked in the first
Gucci
store in Rome. To avoid controversy, he sent
Bruna
to London after she became pregnant. The love story of Patricia’s parents, relying on the author's own memories, a collection of love letters and interviews with her mother, as well as an archive of photos. She interweaves her parents' tempestuous narrative with that of her own relationship with her father - from an isolated little girl who lived in the shadows for the best part of a decade through her rise as
Gucci
's spokesperson and Aldo's youngest protégé, to the moment when Aldo's three sons were shunned after betraying him in a notorious coup and Patricia, once considered a guilty secret, was made his sole heir. An epic tale of love and loss, treason and loyalty, during the most tumultuous period of
Gucci
's sixty years as a family business. Author Patricia
Gucci
was born in London and is the only daughter of
Bruna
and Aldo
Gucci
. She was educated in England, Italy and Switzerland before moving to New York to study acting. She was appointed to the board of
Gucci
, a position she held until the sale of
Gucci
to Investcorp in 1987"--Provided by publisher.
