The square is named for Milan Cathedral (the Duomo, in Italian), one of Europe’s largest Gothic cathedrals, which stands alongside the entrance to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
Milan Restaurant
The restaurant Patrizia and Maurizio go to on their date is Il Salumaio de Montenapoleone. Local press spotted Lady Gaga and Adam Driver filming House of Gucci’s restaurant scene in March 2021. The restaurant was established in 1957, serving Italian cuisine in a dining room and open air courtyard.
Masked Ball
The masks worn in House of Gucci’s ball scene were made by Original Venice. Continuing the truly Italian theme of the movie, they’re a Venice-based shop whose masks are made by authentic local craftsmen.
And if you want to replicate the look, you can buy the masks seen in House of Gucci! Maurizio is seen wearing the Marciana eye mask, while Patrizia wears the Gold Dulcinea with Strass and Stick.
Wedding Church
Patrizia and Maurizio’s wedding was filmed at Santa Maria in Campitelli on Piazza di Campitelli in Rome. Also known as Santa Maria in Portico for its location near the ancient Porticus Octaviae, the present day Baroque church was built in the 17th Century.
Behind the decadent costumes and floral arrangements, you can see the architecture of this Italian church location clearly in House of Gucci.
Gucci Lake House
The House of Gucci lake house is Villa Balbiano, a 16th Century property on the shores of Lake Como. In the movie, Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino) invites Maurizio and Patricia to his grand lakeside villa. There’s no camera trickery here – this is one of the most imposing properties in what’s already an upmarket area.
Villa Balbiano is a celebrated local landmark in the town of Ossuccio, close to the Swiss border. It was originally built by Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, and it’s become grander with each successive owner.
The palazzo itself has been enlarged and improved, and the interiors don’t disappoint either. Its rooms are decorated with 300-year-old frescoes and furnished with antiques from Christie’s and Sotheby’s. You can stay at the Lake Como villa from House of Gucci for around £350,000 per week. Not a bargain break, but you probably expected that.
St Moritz
Gressoney-Saint-Jean and Gressoney-La-Trinite in Valle d'Aosta are House of Gucci’s St Moritz locations. Look out for the mountain towns during the Guccis’ ski trip where Patrizia clashes with Maurizio’s old friends.
