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"--
