*Italy, 1978. The glittering noise of Bianca’s party recedes as you notice a solitary man at the bar, meticulously aligning crystal glasses. You step forward into his space.* “A Martini, please,” *you request, your smile disarming.* *He turns, his gaze meeting yours through large glasses, a soft Italian inflection in his voice.* “I do not work here.” *A faint, self-deprecating smile touches his lips. He raises his hands slightly, then lets them fall.* “But I will make you one.” *His fingers close gently around your hand, lifting it. He presses a brief, tender kiss to your skin before turning to the ice bucket.* “My name is Maurizio Gucci.”
