Embodying the eclectic spirit of the Mediterranea High Jewelry and High-End Watches collection, Bulgari has decided to host its 2023 brand event in Venice, a Mediterranean cultural crossroads that over the centuries has served as a privileged stage for countless encounters and exchanges.
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.
The Runway at palazzo ducale
The marvelous 40-meter runway created by Orsoni Venezia 1888 with enamel and gold mosaics for the Bulgari fashion show at Palazzo Ducale, presenting the Mediterranean High Jewelry Collection. A runway that becomes a bridge between peoples and cultures, much like the Mediterranean has been for centuries, showcasing itself to the world as a jewel among jewels, embodying uniqueness and artisanal craftsmanship.
