What Pina Auriemma looks like, the woman who read the letters to Patrizia Reggiani

We already showed you what the ‘House of Gucci’ characters looked like in real life, but have you wondered what Pina Auriemma looks like and what she did?

This is because beyond being the woman who read the letters to Patrizia Reggiani, Giuseppina Auriemma was key to the murder of Maurizio Gucci. Here we tell you her story.

Who is Pina Auriemma

Giuseppina Auriemma, nicknamed ‘Pina’, was born into one of the wealthiest families in Naples who were known for being an Italian socialite during the 1970s until her arrest in 1998 for the murder of the Italian tycoon.

Known as ‘La Maga’, for her services as a clairvoyant, this woman from Neapolitan high society became Patrizia Reggiani’s best friend after meeting in 1976, while both were on the island of Ischia, Italy.

Their friendship was one of the most extravagant in Italian high society in the 1980s, constantly appearing in Italian publications as ‘Lady Gucci’s confidant’, but after her conviction Giuseppina has stayed away from the media, so many wonder what Pina Auriemma looks like today.

Auriemma became a fundamental piece in Reggiani’s life, to the point that she became his personal psychic and they even became partners in 1981 to establish their own boutique in Naples.

To do this, Pina promised to invest 200 million lire in the project, but this never happened, according to Patrizia’s statements that were never denied, establishing one of the first disagreements between the friends.

However, when Maurizio divorced Reggiani in 1994, Pina Auriemma played a fundamental role in ‘Lady Gucci’s’ life as her most intimate confidant and was called by the press ‘Patrizia’s lady-in-waiting’.

Pina even moved to a hotel in Milan – much to the regret and displeasure of Patrizia’s mother and daughters – with the aim of helping her write her memoirs about her relationship with Maurizio, since due to the brain operation she underwent subdued, Reggiani could not remember certain events.

Thus, Giuseppina Auriemma listened to Patrizia’s complaints about her ex-husband, his affair with Paola Franchi, the detachment from her daughters and the sale of the company that left the Gucci family out of the eponymous fashion house.

What Pina Auriemma looks like now

As we already told you in this note, after the murder of Maurizio Gucci in 1995, Patrizia was the main suspect and after her capture the close friendship with Pina became a war that persists to this day.

This is because Reggiani alleged that Pina was the one who really orchestrated the murder, and then blackmailed her, but since she did not give him the money that her former friend supposedly demanded, Auriemma incriminated her.

The version was not only rejected by the court, but also by Patrizia Reggiani’s own defense, who rather based their argument on behavioral changes derived from the neurological surgery that Maurizio’s ex-wife underwent.

Finally, investigations revealed that Patrizia asked Pina to find a hitman to end her ex-husband’s life, after which she looked for one of her doormen, who in turn went to the owner of a pizzeria until He ended up hiring Benedetto Ceraulo, the hitman who really pulled the trigger.

Of the four accomplices to the murder, Pina Auriemma, accused of organizing the murder to get money, received the lesser sentence of 25 years, being convicted in 1998, but was released in 2010 due to a reduction to her sentence granted by the Italian court for good conduct.

After this she has had few appearances in the media, but at the beginning of this year, for the long-awaited premiere of the film ‘House of Gucci’ in which Salma Hayek plays her character, Pina gave an interview to the program ‘Live – it’s not D ‘Urso’ with Barbara D’Urso.
