just recently AWAR (The American Women’s association of Rome) had the privilege of taking a little (only twenty members) personal excursion of Bulgari’s Heritage Collection.
I RSVPed the minute I checked out the invitation.
I haven’t been inside the store considering that the Peter Marino renovation. One morning, when I was jogging up by means of Condotti on my method to rental property Borghese Park, I’m positive I saw the designer going out of the store. who else would be using that attire at 8:30 in the morning, in Rome?
Bulgari was established by Sotirios Bulgaris in Rome one hundred as well as thirty years ago. The Heritage Collection is a event of this history. There are over six hundred special pieces. The jewelery, watches, accessories, as well as drawings were curated during years of research study as well as archival work. Bulgari has been getting back value pieces from auctions as well as personal collections.
While Bulgari is part of the French high-end worldwide powerhouse LVMH, the DNA of the business is Roman.
DOMUS indicates house in Latin as well as that area (located on the second floor) is where you will discover pieces from the Heritage Collection.
The store is gorgeous. Marino, influenced by the Pantheon as well as other Roman masterpieces, modernized the flagship store without stripping it of its history as well as charm.
The foyer on the very first floor. Nods to the Pantheon in this circular space.
The back stairs that cause Domus. That pattern.
This floor as well as that table. No words.
Here’s a photo I took of the floor so you can see the complex tiling. Stunning. I gasped when I saw it.
Caterina Riccardi, Bulgari brand Heritage special Projects, describes the connection between the Heritage Collection as well as the Eternal City. Ms. Riccardi was the by means of Condotti store manager for over thirty years. Her excursion was excellent, informative as well as entertaining.
This sapphire pendant was gotten from a personal collector in the States. Be still, my beating heart.
Richard Burton when said, “The only Italian word Elizabeth understands is Bulgari.” Burton provided Taylor this sapphire as well as diamond necklace as well as sound for her fortieth birthday. actress Jessica Chastin used the famous pendant at the 2013 Cannes film Festival. She was the very first person to wear it considering that Taylor.
From 1960, a gold enjoy bracelet with diamonds as well as rubies. I do not like snakes however I’d make an exception for this one.
This is just a bit taste of the extraordinary pieces in this collection. I was influenced by the colors, the designs, as well as the craftsmanship.
