Summary

A selection of images that pay homage to the extraordinary visual heritage of the maison from its origins to the present day. In honor of Bulgari's 125th anniversary, its most lavish and important retrospective was held at the prestigious Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome in 2009. The exhibition traveled to Paris, beneath the majestic vaults of the Grand Palais. The show was again hosted in 2011 by the National Museum in Beijing, and subsequently by the Aurora Museum in Shanghai. Nearly 600 masterpieces of the jeweler's art were thus exhibited for the first time to the general public. The collection includes the magnificent collection that once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, as well as archival documents such as photographs, original designs, and film stills. The present volume crowns this collection with a stunning gallery of international celebrities wearing Bulgari jewels, from Elizabeth Taylor to Ingrid Bergman, from Sophia Loren to Lauren Hutton, and from Kirk Douglas to Sting, just to name a few.
