Who Is Patrizia Gucci to Lady Gaga?

In recent news, Lady Gaga has been making headlines for her upcoming role in the movie “Gucci” directed by Ridley Scott. The movie is based on the true story of the murder of Maurizio Gucci, the former head of the Italian fashion house “Gucci.” While Lady Gaga’s involvement in the movie is not surprising, what has caught people’s attention is her supposed connection to Patrizia Gucci.

Who is Patrizia Gucci?

Patrizia Gucci is the great-granddaughter of Guccio Gucci, who founded the luxury brand in 1921. She was born on December 1, 1948, in Milan, Italy.

In her younger days, she was a part-time model and later married Paolo Poletti. Together they had two children before divorcing in 1982.

In 1995, Patrizia was sentenced to 29 years in prison for arranging the murder of her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci. She was released on parole after serving just 18 years.

What is Lady Gaga’s connection to Patrizia Gucci?

Lady Gaga has been cast to play Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani in Scott’s upcoming movie “Gucci.” Reggiani was convicted of ordering her ex-husband’s murder and served 18 years in prison before being released in 2016.

After news of Lady Gaga’s casting broke out, Reggiani spoke out about it saying that she does not approve of Gaga playing her character as she doesn’t think she looks like her. She also criticized Gaga for not having reached out to her or consulting with her about how to portray her accurately.

However, according to sources close to Lady Gaga and Ridley Scott’s production team, they have no plans to consult with Reggiani as they believe that their interpretation of events will be sufficient for the movie.

Conclusion

While Lady Gaga’s connection to Patrizia Gucci is limited to playing her in Ridley Scott’s upcoming movie, it has sparked curiosity about the Gucci family and their complicated history. It remains to be seen how accurately the events will be portrayed in the movie, but one thing is for sure – it will definitely be a must-watch for fashion and true-crime enthusiasts alike.
