Patrizia Reggiani, his ex-wife and the mother of his two daughters.<\/p>\n<p>Allegra was 14 at the time, and her sister Alessandra was 18.<\/p>\n<p>Now, angered by Hollywood director Ridley Scott\u2019s portrayal of her family in last year\u2019s \u201cHouse of Gucci,\u201d Allegra, 40, has written a book about those \u201cdifficult\u201d years, translated from Italian (\u201cFine dei
