"My eyesight is not so good darling, I didn't want to miss." The line that finally convinced her own daughters she'd done it, after 17 years of prison visits. In 1995, Maurizio Gucci walked into his office building in Milan and was shot four times. His ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani was convicted of arranging the hit, and their two daughters - Alessandra and Allegra Gucci - spent nearly two decades visiting her in prison, certain she was innocent. Because the list of people who may have wanted Maurizio dead was long: he had ousted every other Gucci from the family company, cut off the licensing deals making his cousins rich, and sent his own 81-year-old uncle to prison for tax evasion. Then he lost Gucci anyway. This is Just The Gist of the murder of Maurizio Gucci: the true story behind the 2021 Ridley Scott film 'House of Gucci' starring Lady Gaga, the family feud that cost the Guccis their own brand, and Patrizia Reggiani, the ex-wife who now spends her days luxury shopping with a parrot on her shoulder. .
