Bulgari hosted an event in the city of Venice, in which the debut of the Maison’s High Jewelry Collection, Festa, was unveiled. Scuola Grande della Misericordia was the scene, as guests of celebrity stature, including Bella Hadid, Lily Aldridge, and She Qi attended. An orchestra reinterpreted Italian themes, a runway followed by a gala dinner, special performances sequenced to a night of dancing - a Festa was manifested. The Maison celebrated the essence of the Italian way of life for an evening in Venice, for eternity through the collection.
