Guccio Gucci (1881-1953), founder of The House of Gucci, was the son of an Italian merchant from the country’s northern manufacturing region.

Founding Gucci

He started the House of Gucci in Florence in 1906 as a small, family-owned leather saddlery shop. Guccio was an exceptional craftsman and began selling leather bags to horsemen in the 1920s. As a young man, he quickly built a reputation for quality, hiring the best craftsmen he could find to work in his atelier[1]. In 1938, Gucci expanded his business to Rome. Soon his one-man business turned into a family-business, when his sons Aldo, Vasco, Ugo and Rodolfo joined the company. In 1951 Gucci opened their store in Milan and two years later, the company expanded overseas with the opening of the Manhattan store[1].
