Drawing from a place reminiscent of his childhood, Creative Director Alessandro Michele chose the Capitoline Museums to unveil the new Gucci Cruise 2020 collection
Offering a unique look inside the centuries-old history of Ancient Rome through a rich antiquities collection, the Capitoline Museum set the mood for the new women’s and men’s collection.

First opened to the public in 1734, the museum is regarded as one of the oldest museums complexes in the world. Housed in two buildings—Palazzo
