The showroom at the palazzo van axel
Exploring its unique creativity and outstanding craftsmanship, the brand has created different spaces inside Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel. These share a rich and captivating aesthetic and also embody the distinctive ethos of the three worlds coexisting within the Mediterranea collection.
The Serpenti creations are displayed in a warm, luxurious environment dominated by a sculpture crafted by Orsoni Venezia 1888, Venice’s historical furnace, with insertions of 24K gold leaf mosaics. Designed by Zanellato/Bortotto studio, an emerging duo among the most influential designers in the world, the sculpture is in the shape of a column and its texture mimics the scales of a snake, one of Bulgari’s most glorious icons.
