The exhibition consists of eight sections arranged in chronological order, starting from the late 19th century to the 2000s. An entire section is devoted to the Dolce Vita years, with spectacular creations worn by Anna Magnani, Monica Vitti, Claudia Cardinale, Sophia Loren, Romy Schneider, Ingrid Bergman and Gina Lollobrigida.
A separate room is exclusively devoted to the the fabulous private collection of Elizabeth Taylor, never seen before in France. The stormy relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton was punctuated by a series of gifts from Bulgari, as reflected in many quotes by Richard Burton on his then-wife: "The only word she knows in Italian is 'Bulgari', I introduced Liz to beer and she introduced me to Bulgari."
I always visit Bulgari, because it is the most important museum of contemporary art.
