Good morning, my name is Jana Elisabet de los Santos Acosta and my
friend Emili Naomi Arèbalo García, today you will know the true story of
Huse Of Gucci
JANA:whether they consider themselves fashion-savvy or not. You've
almost certainly heard of Gucci.
It was founded in Florence, Italy in 1921 by Guccio
Gucci.
EMLI: Gucci is today one of the most phenomenal successes of the fashion
world.
Gucci is the brand of choice for contemporary style
icons Harry Styles and Rihanna. A subsidiary of the French group " Kering
Gucci " brings
un more revenue than any of it's other Big names. Guccio Gucci's vision
was to make quality handbags and suitcases for a European traveling elite,
and he later added members of the European Communist Party.
EMILI: In which a succession of betrayals, money, decadence, power
struggles and revenge led to the 1995 assassination of Maurizio Gucci.
JANA: Because of none other than the order of his wife, Patrizia Reggiani,
who came to be known as "the black widow of Italy".

EMILI: House of Gucci is an American crime drama film directed by Ridley

Scott.
The story begins when Maurizio
Gucci inherited his grandfather's
fortune. With him at the helm, the
brand faced many financial problems.
In 1993 he was forced to sell his
remaining shares of the company for
$170 million.
