Delving in to Italian fashion houses and their centuries old historical legacies, one learns about the persistence, dedication and sacrifices made from generations to build. Speaking about Italian legendary fashion houses, the family of Aldo Gucci tops the list of the most tragic tales with merit.

Last year, ‘The House of Gucci’ stole the spotlight of the big screens.
