Real-life crime dramas often attract people and when it’s related to one of the world’s biggest luxury fashion houses, how can anyone ignore it? The March slot of Discovery+ is full of true-crime series and one of the most interesting among them is ‘Lady Gucci: The Story Of Patrizia Reggiani’, which explores Patrizia’s relationship with Gucci’s heir Maurizio Gucci to the horror that followed.

Patrizia Reggiani was the wife of multi-millionaire Maurizio Gucci, whom she married in 1972. The pair’s love story started on a very happy or rather filmy note as the two started dating soon after their first meeting. They also tied the knot against Maurizio’s father Rodolfo Gucci’s wish. They began living a very luxurious life after shifting to New York. The pair together welcomed two daughters — Alessandra Gucci in 1977 and Allegra Gucci in 1981. However, things started to take a turn for the worse when Maurizio couldn’t take responsibility for his business. He failed to handle it. He also began a relationship with another woman named, Paola Franchi, following which the nightmare started.
