“I am the daughter of a murdered father, an imprisoned mother and the granddaughter of a bitch.” Allegra Gucci This is how he presents himself in the memoirs with which he today breaks his silence on the murder of his father, which shook this Italian fashion dynasty, and on the recent film: “It’s a lousy cartoon”the Mint.
The book bears a revealing title, Fine dei giochi (games are overEd. Piemme), as he aspires to settle the “games” and rumors that followed the murder of his father Maurizio Gucci, ordered by his ex-wife and mother of the author, Patrizia Reggiani.
On the morning of March 27, 1995, the businessman was shot at the doors of his office in Milan (north), leaving behind two daughters, Allegra and Alessandra, 14 and 19 years old at the time, with a huge estate.
After two years of investigation, on the night of January 31, 1997, the police arrested the mother, accused of commissioning the crime to a hitman. The plate was served: hatred, money and many questions.
Since then much has been written but Allegra, in Switzerland, has not opened her mouth until now, with a book in the form of a posthumous dialogue with her father whose proceeds will go to charity.
“She was, you had disappeared”
Allegra (Milan, 1982) not only lost her father but also attended the media outcry and the trial and conviction of her mother, whose innocence she naively defended for years.
At that time he lived with her after a high-profile divorce: “So you didn’t live with us, we saw each other very occasionally, ours was ‘a precarious bond’ (…) You had left home ten years before, I was 4 years old”, remember.
Therefore, the young woman sided with her mother: “She was, you had left. The boredom of her had infected me ”, he affirms, acknowledging that his father was generous with the pension.
“A wolf in sheep’s clothing”
Allegra is dispatched with her father’s former partner, the ex-model Paola Franco, with whom he had eternal disputes and whom he paints as a miser “wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
He accuses her of posing at the scene of the crime, of not attending the funeral and of plundering the luxurious apartment they shared on the same day of the murder.
They experienced, he maintains, a “drip of baseness” that would have its most stubborn source in Franchi: “His hunger for money would generate uninterrupted judicial and media persecution”attack.
The book includes a copy of a “Coexistence Agreement” between Maurizio and his girlfriend, a separation of property that “would not give time to sign because the hit man arrived before.”
daughter’s “faith”
Allegra attended the arrest of her mother, who left home at night dressed in her luxuries: “My jewelry and furs go where I go”snubbed whoever reminded him that he would go to the dungeon.
On February 19, 2001, the Supreme Court upheld Reggiani’s 26-year sentence as the ordering party for the murder.
The hitman was also sentenced Benedetto Ceraulo, at 28 years, 11 months and 20 days; the man who was driving the car, Orazio Cicala, at 26 years; the organizerIvano Savioni, 20 and a half years old, and the tarot reader Pina Auriemma to 19 and a half years.
Reggiani spent 17 years in the San Vittore prison, which she haughtily called “Victor’s Residence”, and even refused provisional release to avoid community work: “I never worked, I’m better off in jail,” responded to the judge.
Meanwhile, her daughter remained stubborn in her innocence until the mother, released in 2018, confessed everything on television: “I’ll never forget that day. Her words stopped time and plunged me into darkness.”recalls.
“After the confusion, came the rage. She had been deceived, she had taken a false story for good, embraced a cause as a fanatical warrior, with the faith of a daughter ”he admits, without sparing attacks on his maternal grandmother, Silvana.
‘House of Gucci’, a cartoon
Allegra, a law graduate with two daughters, was silent for a long time but “the straw that broke the camel’s back” was the premiere of House of Guccithe movie of Ridley Scott in which Lady Gaga plays his mother and Adam Driver his father’s.
The film, he thinks, “has failed all expectations” by portraying his family “in the worst way, like a lousy caricature”, a testimony “full of errors and clichés”.
“I survived its projection for two hours and 37 minutes, I left disappointed, bewildered and sad”, he maintains, although he already suspected the result when he knew that his mother would be played by the eclectic pop diva. (I)
