The morbid attention of the media. It’s still: Paola Franchi, then the companion of his father “who, a few hours after his father’s death, organized a move from their home”; the dark figures of Giuseppina Auriemmacalled “the sorceress”, and of Loredana Canò, Reggiani’s cellmate; the controversial presence of her grandmother Silvana, “who was only interested in money and the power that comes with it.” Up to the difficult, intricate relationship with her mother about which she says «I can never understand who she really is.

Lights and shadows on my familypublished by Piemme, book that Vanity Fair he anticipates exclusively with a cover, a photo shoot and a double interview (paper and video) that shed light on his life of yesterday and that of today. From the day of the death of the father to the litigation still in progress; from the mysterious facts of some protagonists to suspicious banking movements. Allegra dismantles conjectures, false news and imprecise memories that became the domain of public opinion and ended up on the big screen in the film House of Gucci.

«I did this interview, I wrote this book because I have two young children. Seeing the hype aroused by the film House of Gucci, I didn’t want them to grow up without knowing the truth. I reconstructed the memories piece by piece. Sometimes I felt pain, other times a sense of liberation. It is my letter to my father Maurizio. Because my father Maurizio is always here ».
