520    Aldo Gucci's daughter chronicles the gripping family drama
       --and never-before-told love story--surrounding the rise 
       and fall of her late father, the man responsible for 
       making the legendary fashion label the powerhouse it is 
       today. 
520    "The gripping family drama--and never-before-told love 
       story--surrounding the rise and fall of the late Aldo 
       Gucci, the man who is responsible for making the Italian 
       fashion label the powerhouse it is today, told by his 
       daughter. Patricia Gucci was born a secret: the love child
       whose birth could have spelled ruination for her father, 
       Aldo Gucci. It was 1963, and the halcyon days for the 
       "must-have" brand of Hollywood and European royalty. 
       Patricia's mother gave birth in secret in London before 
       she was smuggled back to Vatican City and hidden from the 
       fashion world, the media, and the rest of the Gucci 
       family. Aldo couldn't afford a public scandal, but he 
       could not resist his feelings for Patricia's mother, Bruna,
       the paramour he first met when she worked for him as a 
       shopgirl in Rome. In In the Name of Gucci, Patricia Gucci 
       charts her parents' untold love story, relying on her own 
       childhood memories as well as an archive of love letters 
       and interviews with her mother. She interweaves her 
       parents' story with that of her own relationship with her 
       father--from a little girl who remained a secret for 
       eighteen months and wasn't publicly acknowledged for her 
       first decade, through her rise to become Gucci's 
       ambassador and Aldo's protégé, to the moment when his 
       three sons, who betrayed him in a famous palace coup, were
       disinherited and Patricia--once considered the shame of 
       Gucci--was made sole universal heir. It is an epic tale of
       love and loss, betrayal and loyalty, sweeping among Italy,
       England, and America throughout the tumultuous years 
       during the rise and fall of the House of Gucci"--
