Dateline: Who Is Maurizio Gucci Girlfriend Paola Franchi? Who Killed Him? Everything to Know
Franchi and Gucci began dating in 1990 after meeting at a private club in Saint Moritz. For five years, Franchi became Gucci’s live-in companion, occupying a beautiful apartment in Milan’s Corso Venezia with the designer.
When Gucci and Reggiani divorced in 1994, they began planning a wedding at Gucci’s Saint Moritz house in Switzerland.
A hired hitman assassinated Maurizio Gucci in 1995. Reggiani served Franchi with an eviction notice the day after the murder, ordering her to vacate the opulent condominium she lived in with Gucci.
Maurizio died less than three hours before the order was written. Reggiani moved in with her two daughters after Franchi left. She stayed there for two years before being apprehended in 1997. Patrizia Reggiani was sentenced to 29 years in jail in 1998 for orchestrating the murder.
