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.

NOW ON DISPLAY: PAPARAZZI

A tribute to the vivacious and magical Dolce Vita period in the Eternal City, marked by intriguing portraits of elusive stars, made more “human” by indomitable paparazzi. From restaurants to shops, glittering parties to trendy clubs, photographers lurked, chased and provoked to deliver the ultimate scoop on illustrious celebrities. They painstakingly depicted the day and night life of “Hollywood on the Tiber”. The paparazzi was prepared do whatever was needed to secure the shot.
