ANCIENT ROMAN WOMEN INCLUDE MISTRESSES

AT THE FUNERAL WIFE AND MISTRESS WERE THERE
Excerpts and Notes from Patricia Gucci's memoir "In The Name of Gucci."
When Aldo, his first wife Olwen Price, a woman of English heritage, and their three sons, Giorgio, Paolo, and Roberto were at the funeral, as were Patricia and her mother. Patricia was now 26 years old and pregnant with her second child.
"Eager to pay tribute to my mother, he'd penned his own obituary to be issued upon his death. Aldo Gucci, he wrote, left behind his wife, Bruna Palombo, and his companion, Olwen Price." (4)
According to Patricia the reversal of the truth was intentional but the New York Times caught the error and printed, "Mr. Gucci is survived by his wife, the former Olwen Price, and three sons," not mentioning Patricia and Bruna at all. (4)
In 2009 when Patricia visited her mother in Rome, where Bruna was living out her life, Bruna gave her a gift of all the love letters Aldo had written to her and telegrams he had sent to her in the early passion of their romance circa 1958-1961, when Patricia had been conceived. (8)

DECLARATION FOR MISTRESSES : Lonely or Alone?
"I love my own company when I can't be out with Him or my friends."
It seems to me that one must decide if they are alone or lonely. These two are assumed to be the same but they are not. I know people who love to be alone. Often that's because they love their own company and revel in all the things one does best alone, such as reading and writing, or indulging their creativity by painting, knitting, sewing. I have one friend who still goes to movies in theaters and loves to go alone. Some people however simply like to be in other people's company most of the time. If that's you, then you probably have a lot of friends because you need people. If you're in a relationship with someone who is gone more often than not, and you're feeling lonely, maybe more lonely than you would be in you were not in that relationship, it's time to reconsider. Such a relationship is probably against your nature and will get to you and bring you down eventually.
Our Mistress of the Month Bruna Palombo seems to have been secluded. While it was not in her nature to enjoy social life, she certainly needed to have a few good friends to keep her company and accept her lifestyle as she came to.
Today's women certainly have more opportunity to be out in the world and full of life that women of her era. So evaluate yourself. Be alone but not lonely.

WIFE AND MISTRESS LEARN THERE IS ANOTHER MISTRESS IN ALDO'S LIFE
Missy's Notes and Quotes from "In the Name of Gucci" by Patricia Gucci:
Some people think "once a cheat, always a cheat." I don't think that is true. Some people cheat because they are with the wrong person for them and very unhappy and it's their way out, perhaps not the most honorable way, but their way. Others were never meant to be monogamous by nature and need to realize that about themselves and proceed honestly with the people they meet.
However, in the story of Aldo Gucci's Mistress, Bruna Palombo, who'se a Classic Mistress Kept from early womanhood and all her life, and Aldo's one and only wife Olwen Gucci, there is yet another woman, another Mistress, who provides more competition for them both. In Patricia's memoir, her mother's discovery of this third woman in Aldo's life comes after she has met her much older half brothers. At that point Bruna and Olwen have separate lives with Aldo but he has done what he promised and united the children from his two families with the introduction. The third woman will challenge Bruna's long held assumption that she was "the one."
Patricia tells us that Olwen and Bruna both stopped trusting Aldo. (160) Patricia's father visited her and her mother less, a sign that there was trouble, and I imagine especially unnerving because she is so dependent upon him. Bruna knew he'd had "dalliances" in the past too and she'd overheard and seen suspicious things. Bruna was afraid to make an issue and Patricia's friends also seemed to have fathers who could not be monogamous. Were all men this way?
The man had nerve. After hearing that he had set this woman up in an apartment and bought her expensive things including works of art and jewelry, Bruna was shocked to find out that Aldo had taken her out to dinner and introduced her to the new woman without explaining who she was in his life. (161) She also found photos of the woman on a trip to Palm Beach and wasn't Palm Beach just supposed to be for Bruna and Aldo?
After all the seclusion, after all the privacy that Bruna had complied with and desired, this blonde was being seen all around openly with Aldo. She had her informants and her notes. The explosive showdown was now not between the classy Olwen and Bruna, but Bruna and Aldo. He refused to admit what he was up to until she had an "explosive" argument with him and presented to him the details of all she knew. Finally, confronted with dates, locations, everything, he admitted he had this other Mistress!
"We were completely on our own with no legal rights." (171)
During crisis Patricia was sent back to boarding school.
*** It's true that Mistresses do not have the legal rights of a wife. I think about why gay people have fought so hard for the right to be legally married. I think the only way for a Mistress to have legal rights is to become the wife or for us to allow legal marriage to more than one person at a time. I admit this is probably more complicated than the gay marriage issue. Missy
