DomvsAvrea

There is a new museum space in the store at Via Condotti 10 that houses the Bvlgari Heritage Collection. The first room on the left immediately upon entry into the boutique has been transformed into the DomvsAvrea. Open every day, it is free of charge to anyone wishing to discover the history of Bvlgari jewelry, the evolution of the Brand's design, and the icons that have led to its international success. This shall all be presented in exhibitions of varying themes that will alternate over the coming months.

A UNIQUE PLACE

The DomvsAvrea continues and revives the work of Domvs, the exhibition area located on the first floor of the shop that will now be dedicated to showcasing contemporary high jewelry creations. Via Condotti 10 thus doubles the space dedicated to unique jewelry, revealing an evocative dialogue between modern-day creativity and historic designs, while also highlighting the continuity of style and evolution of the characteristics that continue to make every Bvlgari creation unmistakable to this day.

GEMS OF HISTORY – Monete jewelry pieces and marbles from antiquity

Ancient coins – precious fragments of history – come to life in contemporary jewelry designs. Since the mid 1960s, Bulgari’s Monete collection has represented the spirit of a brand that knows how to draw creative inspiration from different aesthetics and cultural influences by converting them into a highly distinctive language. In the exhibition, Bulgari creations from the Heritage Collection are in dialog with Roman-era polychrome marbles of the prestigious Santarelli Foundation: an exclusive selection that testifies to the immense quantity of stones imported to Rome, which was hugely significant for its economy, architecture and art.
