Talk:Guccio Gucci

Birth date
This astrology site says he was born 26 March 1881. Their source is Wikipedia, but I don't know whether that refers to the biographical material or to the date. It's never appeared in this article as far as I can tell. I've found no corroboration of the date elsewhere. -- JackofOz (talk) 02:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Nationality
Concerning whether Gucci was Italian or Italian-British, I think we have to go by the citations. He was born in Italy and lived and worked there for most of his life. As a young man, he worked in Paris and London for a number of years. I see no evidence in the citations that he ever had British citizenship. Wildfowl (talk) 19:37, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

The best craftsmen (sources)
I want to address this sentence: As a young man, he rapidly built a reputation for quality, hiring the best craftsmen he could find to work in his atelier. The source for this links to a page in Slovak about loans. Can anyone find a working source for this information? Failing that, perhaps we ought to delete 'hiring…atelier' and just source the first part? I have not deleted the dodgy source yet, in case someone can use it to find an archived version. (I am currently using internet with parental controls and so cannot check archive.org myself.)TywysogMelyn (talk) 23:25, 3 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I was able to find the archived citation but its not a great source, so i tagged it for better source and I don't see much about the atelier. Jooojay (talk)
