Drawn from Bulgari’s remarkable archives, the pieces highlight the Italian design house’s longstanding relationships with stars of Hollywood and Italian cinema, with a focus on the Dolce Vita period of the ’50s and ’60s when Rome was a popular location for Hollywood films.
More than 80 stunning pieces of jewellery will be unveiled as part of the exhibit alongside film and photography. Highlights include jewels presented to Taylor by her paramour and fifth husband Richard Burton, including an emerald ring he gifted her when their love affair first began in Rome on the set of Cleopatra (1963).
Bulgari creations favoured by leading women such as Grace Kelly, Anita Ekberg and Gina Lollobrigida will also be showcased, as well as stunning jewels worn on the red carpet by Hollywood stars including Keira Knightley.
