Emilio Pucci was renowned for his bright, swirling colours and easy, freeing fabrics, dressing everyone from Sophia Loren to Jackie Kennedy in the eye-catching dresses that personified La Dolce Vita.
Before creating his world-famous fashions, however, he played a critical role in the fight against the Nazis, risking his life to smuggle out to the Allies one of the most important documents of the Second World War.
With a host of supporting characters – including Mussolini’s daughter, Allen Dulles and the timeless city of Florence – the authors bring to life Italy’s darkest and brightest days, with the extraordinary Emilio Pucci at its centre.
