For
House of Gucci
, Ridley Scott is based on the book
The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamor and Greed
, by Sara Gay Forden , which tells the chronology of the crime.
Although at the beginning of filming the role of Lady Gaga was in question, the new images of her characterization leave no room for doubt.
The singer, who was born in New York and has Italian origins, as her surnames prove, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, is spending a season in Italy, as the filming is divided between Rome, Florence, Milan and Lake Como. The film also stars Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Jack Huston, Reeve Carney and Jeremy Irons and is scheduled to premiere next November.
Known as the
Black Widow
, Patrizia Reggiani was convicted of ordering the murder of her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci, who was fired four fatal shots at point-blank range and from behind by a hitman at the door of her Milan home in 1995. The identity of the instigator The murder was discovered two years later.
By then, Reggiani, who called herself Lady Gucci, was already one of the most eccentric and followed characters in the social chronicle in Italy.
She was sentenced in 1998 to 26 years in prison, although she was finally released in 2013. She spent a total of 16 years in prison, the last two of her own free will after rejecting parole, claiming that she had never worked, that she did not plan to start working. do it then and that she preferred to live shut up.
It is one of the most gruesome events in Italian society and the fashion industry.
The story did not end with Reggiani's freedom, because when he was released from prison, a judge awarded him a lifetime compensation of one million euros a year that he had agreed with the deceased, considering that having instigated his murder was not a sufficient reason to revoke the agreement.
In recent years, she has been involved in an all-out war with her own daughters, first, when they appealed the sentence, and later with her mother, who tried to disqualify her legally.
At the end of 2018, the
black widow
of Italy promised to sign an armistice with her family and to renounce part of the inheritance in exchange for being able to spend a few seasons in the exclusive villa of the clan in Saint Moritz, to enjoy for a month a year of the family sailboat and to see his grandchildren, with whom he has no relationship.

is Lady Gaga's second major film project, which surprised everyone when in 2018 she starred in

Is
Born
