The just-premiered film House of Gucci tells the murderous love story that marks the history of the fashion empire. The relationship between Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci, the grandson of the brand’s founder, Guccio, is the subject of this stylish work.

The star-studded cast that included Al Pacino, Lady Gaga, and Jared Leto, made the Milan premiere of the film a glamorous event on the Italian stage.

Lady Gaga plays the role of Patrizia Reggiani, a clever party girl on an upward social and material trajectory. A romance between her and Maurizio ignites, despite disapproval from the Gucci clan over the lower class upbringing of his amor.

The film follows Patrizia’s attempts to integrate into the family business, though Maurizio is disinterested in it. This tension between the couple becomes turbulent, escalating into an unthinkable crime.
