Villa Gucci on Camilluccia, when it was built

As reported in the advertisement, Aldo Gucci, who had moved to Rome from Florence to follow the expansion of the family business, began construction of the villa in the late 1940s, which was completed in 1951. Aldo Gucci, the eldest of five children of Aida Calvelli and Guccio Gucci, was president of Gucci from 1953 to 1986.

The property is inspired by a mix of English style with Tuscan accents. After all, Aldo Gucci's wife, Olwen Price, was born in the UK, which is why there are typical bow-windows and other typical decorations in the two facades of the house.

The second villa, with access from Via Pecori Giraldi, was also built by Aldo Gucci in the early 1960s for one of his sons. The two villas have both belonged to the Gucci family for many years, now the heirs have decided to find a buyer who can breathe new life into the property, enhancing its value.
