KBS2TV's 'The Secret of Celebrity Soldiers' focused on the tragic family history within the world-renowned luxury brand Gucci family in the broadcast on the 21st at 8:30 PM.
The episode mainly covered the incident where Gucci family heir Maurizio Gucci was shot in an assassination attempt orchestrated by his ex-wife Patricia Reggiani. Guest Lee Nak-jun expressed surprise that many luxury brands originated from the names of their founders. Christina mentioned that Gucci is not only famous worldwide as a traditional Italian brand but also well-known for intense family conflicts.
Lee Chan-won introduced the story of how Maurizio Gucci and Patricia Reggiani first met at a Milan social party in the 1970s. Maurizio Gucci fell in love with Patricia Reggiani at first sight and married her two years later, despite opposition from the Gucci family. Maurizio Gucci's father, Rodolfo Gucci, strongly opposed the marriage because Patricia Reggiani was not from a prestigious family, and it was reported that the groom's side seats were empty on the wedding day.
Their marriage ultimately ended in tragedy. In March 1995, Maurizio Gucci was assassinated on his way to work. Christina vividly testified that the peaceful wealthy neighborhood near the scene instantly turned into an atmosphere of fear. Investigation revealed that Maurizio Gucci's ex-wife Patricia Reggiani was behind the incident. Patricia Reggiani, whose involvement was uncovered through an undercover police investigation, maintained a luxurious appearance at the time of her arrest and claimed in court that her murder plot was due to a past brain tumor.
Lee Nak-jun analyzed from a medical perspective whether brain damage could serve as a criminal exemption. Shuka explained the economic background of how the Gucci empire, built by Guccio Gucci who started as a bellboy, collapsed due to family share disputes. The broadcast also covered how Patricia Reggiani continued her erratic behavior and obsession even after her release.
