Reggiani felt unwell late Monday morning while on the terrace of the suite of a four-star hotel in Riccione, where she had arrived at the end of July to spend a vacation period with her assistant. It was the latter, realizing the seriousness of the situation, who immediately called for help. The hotel staff then alerted emergency services, and after initial treatment on site, the 77-year-old was urgently transferred to the Infermi hospital in Rimini and admitted to intensive care. The causes of the illness remain highly confidential. Among the circumstances considered is prolonged exposure to the sun and high temperatures, but medical examinations will clarify the situation. For now, attention remains focused especially on the clinical evolution. The condition is stable and Reggiani remains under monitoring, while the slow improvement recorded in recent days is being cautiously followed by healthcare professionals.
Patrizia Reggiani, ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci, is now 77 years old. Born in Vignola, in the province of Modena, on December 2, 1948, Patrizia Reggiani entered Milanese high society at a very young age. In 1972 she married Maurizio Gucci, grandson of the founder of the famous fashion maison, thus entering the family that had built one of the most famous luxury brands in the world. Convicted as the instigator of the murder of her ex-husband, killed in Milan in 1995, she was released in 2016 after about 17 years spent in prison. Her story was brought to the big screen in the film House of Gucci.
In the days following the hospitalization, family members remained in constant contact with the hotel management and healthcare workers, anxiously following the evolution of the woman’s health condition.
