GUCCI FAMILY SAGA
SET FOR TELEVISION SERIES ADAPTATION
French Gaumont will make a TV series about the rise of the iconic GUCCI brand which will follow the company’s beginnings with founder Guccio Gucci and delve into the conflicts that ensued within the fashion family dynasty that led to the sale of their empire. Gucci family will produce 
the series which starts with Guccio Gucci who worked as a bellboy at the Savoy Hotel in London, where he became inspired by the luxury leather suitcases carried by British aristocrats. In 1921, he opened his first retail location in Florence and his four sons were soon brought into the family business. Aldo, the eldest of the five sons, opened the first Gucci boutique in Rome in the 
1930s. His intuition and innovative use of quality materials turned Gucci into the iconic brand.
Long-simmering family feuds over the course of the following decades ultimately caused the family-controlled brand to be sold in the early 1990s to French conglomerate Kering.
