The Compendium: An Assembly of Fascinating Things

[Revisited] House of Gucci: A Tale of Glamour, Greed, and Grudges


Listen Later

In this episode of the Compendium, we’re clutching our pearls as I tell Adam all about the tumultuous saga behind the House of Gucci. From the ambitious beginnings of Guccio Gucci to the tragic murder of Maurizio Gucci. We’re not hitting play on an old run of ‘Days of our Lives’, because this is the real story of legacy, scandals and murder.

We are recounting the pivotal roles played by Aldo and Rodolfo Gucci, the transformative under Tom Ford, and how the murder orchestrated by Patrizia Reggiani marked a turning point for the luxury brand. The story of the Gucci family is more than the sum of its parts, offering a window into the complexities of legacy, the price of ambition, and the true story behind the headlines.
