As a young man, he quickly built a reputation for quality, hiring the best craftsmen he could find to work in his atelierhttp://www.studentske.sk/anglictina/History%20of%20Guccio%20Gucci.htm] . In 1938, Gucci expanded his business to Rome. Soon his one-man business turned into a family-business, when his sons Aldo, Vasco, Ugo and Rodolfo joined the company. In 1951 Gucci opened their store in Milan and two years later, the company expanded overseas with the opening of the Manhattan store.
