Many people know you as Drusilla Gucci, but your full name is Drusilla Maria Angelica Erminda Gucci. Why did your parents choose to call you that?
My father is a great lover of Roman history and Drusilla is the name of Emperor Caligula’s sister. Maria we all know why. My mother loved Angelica. While Erminda was my maternal grandmother’s name, my mother was very close to her. Again, this is an ancient name that isn’t heard anymore, so this is a way of carrying it forward.
Ben Affleck Blocks Fabio Fazio’s Question, Then Praises Jennifer Lopez: “Fantastic, She Helps Me With Everything”
You were born in 1994, so you were only one year old when one of the most dramatic events in your family’s history occurred: the assassination of Maurizio Gucci.
My father told me the story in detail. Maurizio was not only his cousin, but they also worked together. So you can imagine how affected the whole family must have been by what happened.
The story was told in cinema in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci, in which Lady Gaga played Patricia Reggiani, the instigator of the murder of her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci. What is your view about the film?
Horrible porn. It’s like watching a fantasy, it has no relation to reality, the only true aspect is that Maurizio was murdered. In addition, they also made faux bags using models from other years. He made a pig. Not to mention the stereotypical characters that have nothing to do with the characters of my family members. Paolo Gucci is portrayed as a madman. And that was not the case at all.
Ultimately, rejected across the board?
Yes, it is all unfair, even the fact that he told it from the point of view of the murderer, a poor mad woman, thirsty for money, who has murdered her husband. But what are we talking about? It’s a pity. When my grandfather was alive, Ridley Scott asked him for the rights to make a film about our family. They gave him the script and my grandfather rejected it because he portrayed us as Corleonesi. Scott waited until after the killer was released from prison to collect royalties from him.
I guess you never got to meet Patrizia Reggiani after she was released from prison.
No and I don’t care.
Being Gucci, between prestige and prejudice
Has having a cumbersome surname like yours helped you?
This is a double edged sword. In some ways this helped me as it is easy to hear when it comes to work projects. However, if there is no essence behind it, then you can call yourself whatever you want, it doesn’t work anyway. If you are a fool, be a fool.
On the other hand, what were you punished for?
People always approach me with a lot of prejudices, getting an idea before even getting to know me. I found it very annoying. They expect that the Paris Hilton of the situation, frank, blonde, with an important surname, with an avalanche of money, will be a little stupid. All things that are different from my everyday life. I am quite aloof from worldliness, I am a private person, I live in the countryside.
drusilla gucci responds to haters
In fact, I’ve noticed on your social profiles that when you talk about your successes at work, comments come up from people who say you owe everything to your family.
Thankfully, I wash my clothes with what people think. I don’t like people in particular, I am very selective in my friendships. So I don’t care what these creatures with walnut-sized brains are saying. Even the fact that negative judgments are issued about a stranger means that something is wrong inside them, they are depressed. I use social media differently.
How?
I love doing tutorials on how to raise awareness about environment, respect nature, how to take care of plants, because I believe growing a vegetable garden is good for your head even if you don’t have that much space. It is a form of meditation, it detaches you from the hustle and bustle of life.
Last month, you mentioned the health problems that were causing you pain for which you were getting tested.
Luckily it was nothing. It started raining while I was walking in the woods. I hate rain! I ran, slipped and hit my tailbone. It was terrible. I did some checking as I was afraid something was broken and instead I was forgiven. I only reported a bruise, which was cured in a short time with pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
because drusilla gucci collects animal bones
One of your hobbies is collecting animal bones.
It is an attachment that I have carried with me since childhood. I have never had such enthusiasm for man, whereas nature and its inhabitants have always attracted me. As a child, I spent a lot of time in the countryside and observed small animals. I had a cat that brought me lizards and dead snakes. And I – I admit for science – put them in alcohol. Then, I started collecting bones.
What draws you to this passion?
I love to collect and preserve everything related to nature. In the 1600s and 1800s they built the Wunderkammer, the Chamber of Wonders, with natural oddities. It’s probably the same thing.
Do you attach any symbolic meaning to those bones?
Yes, skulls have a particularly symbolic and philosophical value for me. The bones that are under the skin are the same for everyone. They are devoid of social and cultural superstructures, they speak little of our purity, simplicity and uniqueness.
How many do you currently have?
His age would be about forty. I want to clarify that they are all animals that have died naturally, they have not been killed. They are bones and skulls that I or my fans have found in forests or on beaches.
Is there a piece from the collection that you particularly like?
A deer, young, two years old, so it has short horns like a goat. A very nice girl worked on it, painted it black, then carved a third eye on the forehead. Beautiful. my favorite
In the past, you said you believed in ghosts.
To say I believe in ghosts is a bit like Flavia Vento (laughs, ed.). More than anything I believe in reincarnation of some sort. I mean ghosts, not the energies that Casper is trying to haunt you with. I live in a thousand year old house. When entering – if one has sensitivity – one can perceive a different density in the air. Feel the weight of the story.
Do you have an inspiring story related to your home that you would like to share?
My house has gone through many changes over the centuries, first it was a monastery, then a Medici hunting fort. Everything and much more. A friend of my mother, who is a mental patient, was entering one of the many bathrooms, came out shocked and pale in the face, and said she had to leave because a man had been hanged in that bathroom. Was.
Tell me about a day in your life that you would like to relive and that you would like to forget.
I’m a pessimist, so I’ll forget most of them (laughs, ed.). I’m not a sun at all, but a black hole. There are many things that I would take away. But I also had good days: that chapter of my life with horses that lasted 20 years and then my high school days, in class with two old friends. Years without responsibility, in which I felt light as a feather. happy times.
Drusilla Gucci on Celebrity Island 2021
In 2021, you participated in Island of the Famous weighing 43 kg. Was it difficult for you to take care of yourself after that experience?
I was practically about to assemble myself (laughs, ed.). I decided to go home because I was sick. But I must say that I made a quick recovery. Everyone told me to eat slowly and not overeat. The day after my expulsion, at a Honduran resort, I ate twenty-six pancakes. Worried, he called the doctor, but nothing happened.
What do you think of Marco Mazzoli’s win?
I’m glad for him, but I didn’t particularly follow this version.

Let’s talk about your love life. You and Francesco Chiofalo recently got back together. how did he win you back?
He begged me, he made a lot of scenes, he said that he has changed, that he is a different person. Yes, yes, let’s see.
If I am not wrong then you suspected that he cheated on you.
He is sure that my jealousy was the reason for the breakup. But it is not like that, I am very sure of myself, I am not afraid of any kind of opponent. For the better part of two years I adopted Francesco’s life. I was the only person who went to Rome, he never came to Florence. I agreed to try again, but now the tune would have to be changed. If he’s interested, he has to come to me and fit into my life.
When you announced your flashback with Francesco Chiofalo, there were people who accused you of faking a crisis to get attention. How do you answer these people?
I could not care less. Now on the web, someone grabs you for sport and stabs you. They are hopeless people who have no life of their own. If you find time to insult me by coming under my post, then you are living a really horrible life. I pity.
How did your parents welcome Francesco back into your life?
They love me very much, so as long as I am calm and happy, they let me make my own choices freely.
Before the crisis, Francesco Chiofalo asked you to marry him. Do you also think this is the man you will be walking down the aisle?
Francesco says many things. If someone says he wants to get married after five months, I suspect he is not thinking about it. To be honest, I don’t really think about it. I am a single person, if I decide to get married I will probably do so after 40 years. Now look, I am getting married the day after tomorrow (he laughs loudly, ed.). Let’s see how he behaves, meanwhile I’ve just given him a second chance, marriage seems a little premature to me. If it performs well, we’ll see.
Drusilla Gucci has published two novels, The Origins and The Lady in Black.
You have two novels to your credit. Where do you draw inspiration from when you write?
My stories are born from my interiority, from my experiences. Whatever my unconscious receives from outside, it swallows, digests, and then spits out in a symbolic, figurative key. Obviously there are also elements that have been invented from scratch. I am looking for a new publishing house for the third novel.
Eventually, Big Brother starts in September, would you like to take part?
This would be a good challenge for me. I don’t like being in groups and then again, there’s music playing constantly in the house and I hate noise. I love getting involved and seeing what I can add, pushing my limits is good for health.
