Gucci has been on a much hillier path. After years of mismanagement by the Gucci family, the company finally went public in 1995, and its fortunes began to rise like hemlines. With the help of 36-year-old American designer Tom Ford, CEO and president Domenico De Sole transformed Gucci from the butt of jokes about men who wear loafers to a label both Seventh Avenue and Wall Street adore. (Ford's first famous look: velvet hiphuggers and a satin shirt.) Incontrovertible evidence of how far it has come: Helen Hunt wore Gucci to the Oscars this year...
...revolves, still seem to be an awfully heartless bunch. The story is set in motion when Rose Marie (played in her youth by Emily Hampshire and later as an embittered nutbag by Kirstie Alley) falls for a young man in the rival Santadio family. Rose Marie's father, Don Domenico (Danny Aiello), disapproves of the union. So what does he do?

...dealing with competition are givens, but this story is set in the '80s--and the slick Clericuzios make the Corleones seem as if they just got off the boat. Gone from the new novel are the entry-level rackets and suspiciously profitable olive-oil business. Instead, family head Don Domenico Clericuzio rules an Exxon of organized crime aided by a son with a degree from Wharton. All the messiness of securing market share is in the past. Years before, the Clericuzios eliminated their main rivals, the Santadios, in one quick and nasty operation. Imagine a rewrite of Romeo and Juliet...
