The Eternal City’s architectural beauty has long inspired the Italian jeweller: Bulgari reinterprets the majestic symbols of Rome with extraordinary editions of jewellery, watches, accessories and perfumes. Now to celebrate its heritage, Bulgari is honoring this influence with “Bulgari & Rome: Eternal Inspiration”, an exhibition which opened in Bulgari’s New York City store on October 15.
In addition to the exhibit, Bulgari is also partnering with the city of Rome to renovate and restore the well-known Spanish Steps—a 17th-century set of 135 stairs located between Piazza di Spagna and the church in Piazza Trinità dei Monti.
Indeed it was close to the Steps, in Via Sistina, that the founder of the brand, Sotirio Bulgari, first established himself with his family at the end of the nineteenth century.
