House of Gucci: Lady Gaga's Milan
The Milan of Lady Gaga and Adam Driver in House of Gucci, from the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele to the places of fashion. Where to eat.
Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci (2021), starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, tells the rise and fall of the famous fashion family, with Italy as its elegant backdrop: Milan, Lake Como, Rome and Florence. The fashion capital par excellence takes centre stage. Here is an itinerary through the Milan of the film and where to eat.
The Milan of the film
The film breathes Milanese elegance: the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Duomo, the historic palaces and the Liberty-style villas that tell the story of fashion’s luxury. A refined Milan, perfect for an itinerary of shopping, architecture and good food.
The family villa on Lake Como
The scenes set in the lavish family villa, where Al Pacino plays patriarch Aldo Gucci, were filmed at Villa Balbiano on Lake Como: a historic residence built at the end of the 16th century by Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio as his private home. Filming on the lake also touched Ossuccio and Tremezzina, while other scenes were shot in Rome, Florence and even in the Alps, at Gressoney.
Where to eat in Milan
For an elegant dinner in the heart of the city, the Nabucco, in the Brera artists’ district, combines atmosphere and careful cuisine since 1970. Discover all the venues of Milan on our site.
