An Italian socialite nicknamed the Black Widow says she was so desperate to murder her husband, Maurizio Gucci, an heir to the Gucci fashion empire, that she “went around asking everyone if they could do it, even the local grocer.” Patrizia Reggiani served 17 years of a 26-year sentence for hiring a hitman. She was furious that Gucci had left her for another woman and angry over his management of his US$170 million take for selling the business in 1993. She eventually found a debt-ridden pizzeria owner to carry out the 1995 murder. He was sentenced to life in prison.
