Salma Hayeks character inHouse of Gucci, Giuseppina Pina Auriemma, is a particularly interesting figure.
Below, everything to know about the real Giuseppina Pina Auriemma.
Pina and Patrizia were so close, they even moved in together.
Forden writes, Pinas sarcastic Neapolitan banter and skill with tarot cards entertained Patrizia for hours.
Patrizia even convinced her husband to let Pina open a franchised Gucci store in Naples.
(The shop was later turned over to an associate.)
The book also details how, following the couples separation, Pina talked Patrizia out of considering suicide.
Pina hired Maurizios assassin.
Maurizio was murdered by a hitman on Mar.
That hitman ended up being Benedetto Ceraulo.
After Maurizios death, Patrizia and Pina did their best to keep a low profile.
Pina was labeled the Black Witch, but she denied being a sorcerer.
During the trial, the media dubbed Patrizia the Black Widow, and called Pina the Black Witch.
In the film, Pinas clairvoyant ways are highlighted.
Pina was sentenced to 25 years but was ultimately released early.
After months and months of keeping her silence, Pina finally confessed to the police.
Pina, meanwhile, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for acting as the middleman.
Pina was released six years early in 2010 for good behavior.
Though Patrizia maintained throughout the trial that Pina set her up, her story changed after she was released.
I didnt want to miss.
Pina still talks about Maurizios murder.
Patrizia was humiliated because Maurizio found another woman, Pina said, adding, Something snapped in her.
Maybe it was a blow to her narcissism.

I was the only fool.
