This portrayal is not confined to a fictional role but embodies a living person who served lengthy prison sentences. Furthermore, she expressed the deep love Patrizia Reggiani had for Maurizio Gucci.

Gaga toldStephen Colbert:
“Well, first of all, I would describe her as real. She’s a real woman. So this is not just a character. This is somebody who is still alive today, and she served decades in prison. And she was very in love with Maurizio Gucci. And something that people don’t know is that when they got married, he didn’t have money or a job. His whole family turned his back on him because he married her.”
