Art and Architecture in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci

Ridley Scott's film 'House of Gucci' features a wealth of art and historic villas. Set decorators Letizia Santucci and Arthur Max sourced antiques from Robertaebasta, Gallery Ltwid, Michel Leo Milano, Rubelli, Lalique, Daum, and other collectors for sets at Cinecittà. Key locations include Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan, a FAI property built in 1935 by architect Piero Portaluppi for the Necchi sisters and later modernized by Tomaso Buzzi, where Rodolfo Gucci (Jeremy Irons) lives. Gustav Klimt's 'Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I' appears in a scene highlighting cultural gaps between the Reggiani and Gucci families. The Ca' Granda in Milan, now the University of Milan's headquarters and originally the Ospedale Maggiore designed by Filarete, serves as a backdrop for Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) and Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga). Villa Balbiano in Ossuccio on Lake Como, a late 16th-century residence of Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio and Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini, restored by Jacques Garcia, hosts Aldo Gucci's (Al Pacino) birthday party. The New York apartment features lamps from Fontana Arte and reproductions of works by Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg. Villa Loubenò in Gressoney-Saint-Jean, an art nouveau palace of Baron Beck-Peccoz, stands in for the Guccis' winter residence. Villa Polissena in Rome, former home of Princess Mafalda of Savoy and Prince Philip of Hesse, redesigned by the prince, appears as the couple's estrangement setting.
