Bvlgari, the story, the dream exhibition in Rome.

Luxury jeweller Bulgari displays sumptuous jewellery and vintage couture from the so-called Dolce Vita era at an exhibition hosted at Rome's Palazzo Venezia and Castel S. Angelo until 3 November.

Entitled Bvlgari, the story, the dream, the show features the diamond-and-sapphire sautoir necklace given to Elizabeth Taylor by Hollywood star Richard Burton during their stormy love affair.

Bulgari's history is told at Palazzo Venezia while the Hollywood and the Tiber section at Castel S. Angelo features jewels owned or worn by legendary actresses such as Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Anna Magnani and Audrey Hepburn.

Bulgari recently announced plans to restore the sacred area of Largo Argentina in central Rome.
