Bulgari in Rome: Where Italian Luxury Began
The Birth of a Roman Jewelry Legend
Founded in Rome in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari, the Bulgari brand has grown from a small jewelry shop near the Spanish Steps to one of the world’s most iconic luxury houses. The historic flagship boutique at Via dei Condotti 10, opened in 1905, remains a pilgrimage site for jewelry lovers.
Bulgari’s designs revolutionized fine jewelry with bold colors, serpent motifs, and a mix of classical Roman and modern influences. Celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, and Sophia Loren have adorned themselves with Bulgari’s creations, cementing its status as a symbol of Italian dolce vita glamour.
