The 2021 film House of Gucci portrayed the Gucci family and their rise in the world of haute couture. While the film’s name speaks to that of the fashion empire built by Guccio Gucci and his descendants, this property nestled in the hills of Rome has the double G deeply rooted in its DNA. Now asking €15 million, or roughly $16.098 million, the piece of fashion history could soon have new ownership as Gucci family heirs seek to sell it.
When Aldo Gucci, longtime chairman of the company, sought to expand alongside his increasingly famous fashion house, he relocated from Florence to Rome. He began creating this Roman residence in the late 1940s, and today, the estate offers two villas both built under Aldo’s direction. They boast both Tuscan and English-inspired interiors while looking out to over 10,000 square meters of tailored grounds. Of course, no Roman paradise would be complete without a sparkling pool and pool house amidst the brush.
The primary villa, completed in 1951, is where Aldo Gucci lived with his family. Referred to as the “Family House,” holidays and other important family gatherings were celebrated there. Aldo added more the property in the early 1960s, constructing the secondary villa for one of his sons.
The 1,200-square-meter main home offers 12 bedrooms and 12 full bathrooms, perfect for a large, illustrious family. The garden level offers staff quarters as well as a secondary kitchen and a large game room. On the third level, experience the essence of Rome with panoramic rooftop views of the iconic Altare della Patria rising from the capital’s center.
As many fine garments do, the secondary villa currently needs attention and tailoring. A clever renovation could transform it into whatever a future homeowner envisions. Chiara Gennarelli of Building Heritage/Forbes Global Properties holds the rare, Rome listing.
