The 10 best characters, ranked by power and influence
Gucci House is a film about power, influence and a family whose members will betray each other to reach them. Although it focuses primarily on the marriage of Maurizio Gucci and the murder of Patrizia Reggiani, it also chronicles the rise and fall of the iconic Maison Gucci and the characters caught in its vortex of backstabbing and backstabbing. business incidents.
While some characters like the breathtaking Patrizia become addicted to maintaining a level of material wealth that they have never known, wealth is not the only way to be powerful and influential, something she is learning. by manipulating Maurizio and Paolo to achieve stability within the company. Other characters who have had power and influence their entire lives, like Aldo and Rodolfo Gucci, play tennis with their legacy, never appreciating what they have until it’s gone, far too concerned with controlling the luxury brand both ways with each successive trial.
ten Tom ford
In the early 90s, when Maurizio Gucci was already showing signs of sagging the Gucci brand, he made a wise business decision: he asked the up-and-coming designer Tom Ford to breathe new life into the fashion house with a collection. . In the competitive fashion industry, his designs make Gucci the toast of the runway, albeit briefly.
While Tom Ford’s contribution is not enough to save Gucci from what is to come and his appearance is relatively small, he is nonetheless an important piece in a period that shows what Gucci is capable of when not bogged down. by greed and family. dysfunction. When the focus is on fashion and the Gucci myth, Ford captures its appeal.
9 Pina Auriemma
A psychic medium that Patrizia calls on a local cable network in a moment of indecision, Pina Auriemma later becomes an important figure in her life. They develop a friendship based on Patrizia’s desire to know if she will get “whatever she wants”, which later revolves around her desire to make sure Maurizio gets “everything he deserves”.
Pina is only influential on Patrizia, her advice guiding the young social climber as she tries to make her mark on the Gucci family and the fashion label. Aside from their friendship, she has connections to the kind of people who can commit murder, but not get away with it.
8 Paola Franchi
Paola Franchi enters the film relatively late in her narrative, but there’s no denying the importance of the sculptural blonde. An old childhood friend of Maurizio’s before Patrizia came into her life, she reunites with him as he lays a low profile in Switzerland’s financial police, just in time for ski season.
Paola touches his heart at a particular time when Patrizia has become more visible with her goals and he begins to distance himself from her. Paola lets Maurizio be who he wants to be, rather than who she thinks he should be. She has the ability to trap his affection and be the deciding factor for him to leave Patrizia.
7 Paul Gucci
Although he was at one point the chief designer of Gucci, Paolo Gucci has no say in how the family or the fashion brand works. He is considered incompetent by his father, his uncle, and more specifically by Patrizia, who manipulates him into selling his Gucci shares to Maurizio.
Like Pagliacci’s tragic clown, Paolo Gucci’s story is mired in despair as the people whose opinions concern him most fail to understand his art. He receives no recognition for his design abilities, no respect as Gucci, and ultimately dies impoverished.
6 Patrizia Reggiani
Coming from a working-class background, Patrizia Reggiani fully understands the kind of insight needed to move forward in life. And while she’s willing to accept Maurizio Gucci as a suitor even when he’s got nothing, she’s more in love with him (and his lifestyle) when he comes back into Gucci’s fold, something that she is only too happy to help orchestrate.
In Gucci HousePatrizia may not always be popular with the social elite around her. Yet his power does not come from being popular but from guiding the majority of Maurizio’s decisions early in their life (including bringing him back into Gucci’s fold). But by the time he becomes the majority shareholder in the company, his influence over him has dissipated and she has to fight to get anything out of their divorce.
5 Domenico De Sole
Domenico De Sole is the family lawyer who helps manage the brand’s legal affairs and often steps in when issues arise. After Rodolfo’s death, he agrees to help Maurizio and Patrizia run the business, albeit reluctantly. One of Gucci HouseShrewdly intelligent characters, he ends up becoming the CEO of Gucci America and forces Maurizio out of the company by having him sell his controlling shares.
A somewhat obscure character who always seems to think of two steps ahead of the fiery family that surrounds him, Domenico gradually takes over the Gucci brand when it is clear that it is not being managed in an appropriate manner. As a family lawyer, he is not only aware of Gucci’s secrets, he also knows how to exploit them for his own benefit.
4 Nemir Kirdar
An accomplished businessman and financier, Nemir Kirdar sees the value of Gucci as a brand even though it is poorly managed and underused by Maurizio Gucci once he becomes the majority shareholder. Even though he helps fund Maurizio’s buyout of Aldo and Paolo’s stake in the company, he ultimately helps Domenico De Sole hunt Maurizio once he sees how much Gucci benefits from it.
Kirdar is a savvy investor worth millions and sees the need for Gucci to be run as a business rather than a family operation. That being said, he respects the care taken in Gucci craftsmanship, as evidenced by the gorgeous pair of leather loafers he wears that were once made for Clark Gable.
3 Aldo Gucci
As the eldest son of Gucci founder Guccio Gucci, Aldo Gucci is the chairman of the company, a position he has held since the 1950s. In addition to his prestigious position within the company, he is also known for his charming personality, who helps bring Maurizio back into the fold of Gucci when his father (Aldo’s brother) disowns him for marrying Patrizia.
As much as Aldo can build a prestigious foundation for Maurizio and Patrizia in the Gucci family, so much he can destroy it, which he reminds them of when they begin to question his creative decisions. An extravagant spender and an appreciator of the finer things in life, he also has homes in New York, Rome, Florence, London and more.
2 Rodolfo Gucci
Actor and businessman, Rodolfo Gucci abandoned the creative arts to devote his life to Gucci. He is often the last word on Gucci affairs, although his brother Aldo tries to persuade him both personally and professionally to take different directions with the brand. He has the means to make or break Maurizio’s fortune and does not think of denying his only son when he wishes to marry Patrizia, the daughter of a truck magnate.
Rodolfo is often stuck in his favorite past, where he still stars in movies (though not exactly classic black and white movies), and stars like Grace Kelly buy his scarves. He doesn’t believe in more progressive business choices like Aldo or Paolo, and is seen as the one person stopping Gucci from stagnating. Because he forgives Maurizio just before his death, Maurizio becomes the majority shareholder of the company.
1 Maurizio Gucci
The only son of Rodolfo Gucci, Maurizio is reluctantly included in Gucci’s proceedings, but is opposed to a business that has caused his family so much dysfunction. Nonetheless, he ended up becoming the majority shareholder in the company, buying out the rest of his family and directing the brand’s course.
Maurizio is not a natural businessman, but he wants to assert himself among the great personalities of his family, and Patrizia helps him to do so. Sadly, what he becomes after their marriage is different from the shy lawyer he was when they first met. In many ways he becomes the very thing he hates, but the power and influence of his position is too much to resist.
