Crime of fashion Maurizio Gucci, owner of the Gucci enterprise Company was shot to death at his main office in Milan. Who wanted this fashion mogul dead?
Maurizio may not have been successful outside of Gucci. But his strategy that Gucci should be an exclusive brand of high fashion and quality, and not licenced out to sell low quality products, was a more clever and sustainable strategy.
What type of world do we live in that someone is openly asking for a killer and nobody reports that to the authorities? Maybe if somebody had spoken up he would still be alive. Sad state of humanity.
Erica F There are several videos on RU-vid about people who were asked by someone if they could recommend a hitman and they all kept quiet and ignored the issue . They all had the same excuse " I thought he was kidding " bull shit . I wish these people could be prosecuted for being accessory to murder .
+Mene Tekel Not according to the black widow. I remember this almost two decades ago. She preferred the opposite: to be miserable in a limousine than happy on a bicycle.
+Kenyan Bunnie This reminds me of a famous quote by Mill: *“It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question. The other party to the comparison knows both sides."*
The items made in Gucci's early years, as featured in this program, in terms of both quality and style, make the company's current offerings look, to be slightly diplomatic, less than elegant.
The entire family is sickening beyond belief, their greedy narcissism and their ugly-ass "fashions". Mauricio was trying to bring the name back, and rescue it from the sleaze the other family members had dragged it down to. Incompetent and belligerent morons, Patrizia belonged with them.
Maurizio bought the rest of the family out and they went willingly. The cunt wanted the status of a "Gucci Heiress", not just money (she felt entitled to it as a matter of course).
Absolutely insane. I wish I had known this history prior to my fashion obsession. I would have never touched Gucci if I had this info. No wonder the resale value for a Gucci bag is awful compared to Louis Vuitton. Ew, this explains that horrible cheap vintage pvc gucci plus line out of mexico.
What is it with fashion icons getting shot in the head from behind? Versace died the same way at the hands of that lunatic Cunanan, following his morning stroll, in Miami Beach in the 90's. Forget the bullet-proof vest, if I was a fashion demi-god I'd insist on a bullet-proof helmet!!

Lol, it's an old-time satirical phonetic Italian American "accent" called "Ice-a-box-ah English" (Icebox English). Italian immigrants to America, as they learned English, always kept their Mother tongue's propensity for cramming as many syllables into one word as possible. So, they would pronounce "icebox" as "ice-ah-box-ah", adding in actually non-existent syllables. This satirical accent is still used by actors, comedians, etc. I used it here to rank extra hard on this horrendously hilarious ultra-rich nutball murder, but I had to make it work in written form. So, I did it the only way possible- by goofing around with the spelling. The song I'm parodying is Italian-American actor-singer-comedian Dean Martin's very famous hit of bygone years, "That's Amore". None of this is getting through, is it?
Lol, Thanks-a-bunch! That whole Gucci-Gucci-Coup (there I go again) soap-a opera was so over the top that it screamed out for the "Tom Lehrer" satire bitch-slap treatment. Tom Lehrer was, and still to this day is an iconic star of American Satire, up there with Mark Twain and H.L.. Mencken. He composed, wrote, sang and accompanied himself on the piano, and brought the house down every time. This was in the late '50's, early '60's. I had all his albums on vinyl as a kid, and I was mesmerised by his triple-threat talent. Lehrer was the precursor to Sondheim, no doubt about it. Tom Lehrer lives on forever on RU-vid; go see for yourself. But empty your bladder first.
Thanks, lol. I missed the really big pun/joke, though: *"Gucci-Gucci-Coup"*. Really slapped my forehead over *that* one a couple of hours after posting.
I like how this show portrait this case with those names like "La maga nera" "Vendetta", no one gave a single fuck about this here in Italy, but ye no wonder cause Gucci is just overrated and overhyped in the US. And ye I like all those fake Italian accent too, specially Sara Forden one! Amazing! thanks for sharing!
I don't understand why Maurizio had to sell his 50% stake in the company. He had enough money. Bad decision. He should have kept it in the family. Although the other 50% is still in the Gucci family.
And so, yet again, we see how vulgar, narcissistic and shallow the rich and famous can be. Completely callous toward the destitute and starving, they want more and more. And to think, some idiots vote them into power.
You know, Patrizia wasn't entitled to shit; she had no business being supported. She came from lots of money and had a rich daddy who could have taken good care of his demonic little girl for the rest of her selfish life.
@40:30 where Dunne says " . . . pretty far-fetched . . ." about Gucci's brain tumor and plotting a murder, actually, it's not. My MIL had a golf ball sized brain tumor, and it depends on where the tumor was that can affect all sots of behavior. A tumor in the frontal lobe, cerebellum, can produce behavior that we consider wong, to downright evil. My MIL seemed to have no mosee for her actions and everyone as wondering why she was so ruthless and uncaring; it wasn't her--it was the tumor. Take a big ol' chunk out of someone''s bain and you can expect character flaws ties ten.
Wow his wife was a biblically sized cunt. Got steaming mad because her MONTHLY spending allowance got cut from 150,000 to 90,000? That's more then most people make a year and that stuck up lazy ass cunt thinks she deserves more let alone any?! I would take that 90,000 and give it to a dozen high schoolers so they could go to college as long as they follow that bitch around everywhere she goes and yell greedy bitch everywhere she goes
Just wasted 43.35 min of my time watching this crap. I knew years ago that Gucci bags and purses were made in the sweat shops of Italy and to say this bitch was a dead ringer for Liz Taylor is a travesty in itself.
In October 2011, she was offered a chance at parole, but refused saying "I've never worked in my life and I'm certainly not going to start now". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrizia_Reggiani
CopyPhotoScan www.news.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/freed-gucci-murdress-patrizia-reggiani-lands-fashion-job-with-bozart/story-fnet01u7-1226720552627 A ONCE wealthy Italian socialite who ordered the killing of her former husband and heir to the Gucci fashion fortune, Maurizio Gucci, was released from prison on Monday after 16 years inside. Patrizia Reggiani, whose trial transfixed Italy with details of her ostentatious lifestyle and vindictive plot, has been hired as a fashion consultant by the high-end jewellery chain Bozart.
Why don't these successful men marry women who are equally successful in business? Why a woman they have to pay for, pay for everything? Why women who don't have money of their own, in their own right? Even the woman came from a good background, but the spoiled bitch just wanted her husband to be her Daddy!
