As an Italian precious gem itself, Venice has welcomed in its breathtaking atmosphere Bulgari’s new high jewelry collection, Festa. The sumptuous palace of Scuola Grande della Misericordia was filled with the pure sense of happiness honored in the Italian house’s novelties and constituted a wonderful place for Bulgari Group CEO Jean-Christophe Babin to host a sparkling event worthy of Bulgari’s refined pieces.

This important social hub in Venice witnessed the attendance of socialites and VIPs, such as Bulgari brand ambassadors Lily Aldridge and Bella Hadid, Shu Qi, Alicia Vikander, Lottie Moss, Jasmine Sanders, Jon Kortajarena, Japanese actress Kumiko Goto, top model Nieves Alvarez and socialite HSH Princess Lilly zu Sayn Wittgenstein Berleburg, as well as Isabel Getty, Ivy Getty, Viola Arrivabene and Vera Arrivabene.

After being welcomed by a stunning high jewelry show with models gracefully wandering amongst them, the guests toured the marvelously decorated rooms that unveiled the new collection. The atmosphere was simply magical with an orchestra playing reinterpreted Italian themes. Special performances by joyful dancers and extraordinary acrobats entertained the guests as they enjoyed Michelin starred Executive Chef Luca Fantin’s dishes inspired by the collection. And as the clock struck midnight, they danced the night away to the rhythms of DJ Graziano della Nebbia.

This is how a house celebrates the unveiling of more than 100 high jewelry pieces and exquisite watches that embody the sense of pure cheerfulness of the Italian festas! Visit the Photo Gallery and get immersed in the joyful spirit of this memorable evening.
