The Italian city of Florence now has a Guccio Gucci Piazza where aficionados of the global fashion brand can pay homage to its founder in the city where he was born.
Four of Gucci’s great-grandchildren were there Thursday for the naming ceremony at the piazza, with a view of the famed Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery, on the 145th anniversary of Gucci’s birth. Several Gucci executives and former employees, including an 88-year-old woman who was hired by Guccio himself, also attended.
