Murder in the House of Gucci | Humble Beginnings | 1

On March 27, 1995, Maurizio Gucci – the one-time chairman of the House of Gucci – was killed in cold blood. The murder became Italy’s crime of the century. As a story, it had it all: a rags-to-riches family saga, a vengeful ex-wife, and the glitz and glamor of the world of high fashion.

But what it didn’t have... was an ending. For two years, detectives went in circles. To solve the case, they’d have to crack open Maurizio’s life like a book.

In the first episode of our three-part series, we turn back to page one. How did Guccio Gucci, a poor bellhop, make his name synonymous with luxury? How did a family as glamorous as the Guccis produce a child as shy and awkward as Maurizio? And how did Maurizio go from the most overlooked member of the family to its most powerful?
