Bulgari Launches Mediterranea High Jewelry and Watches Collection in Venice 2023 AOC Jewelry News

Bulgari Mediterranea

Bulgari chose Venice to host the unveiling of its new High-Jewelry and high-End Watch collection Mediterranea. The choice of La Serenissima [Italian name for the Republic of Venice] references the Byzantine title that governed the city’s role as a center of trade and business.

These Bulgari Mediterranea images were shot by photographer Gregoire Alexandre [IG] for V Magazine, who shares their thoughts about the collection.

Venice was also a city that preferred conflict mediation and peaceful solutions that arose with the many diverse cultures and peoples navigating the Mediterranean Sea in pursuit of commercial trading partners and sometimes territorial conquest.

Venice Crossroads

For centuries, Venice existed as a symbol of openness to different cultures, bringing together distant universes and creative inspirations. Historical scholars, anthropologists and inquisitive lay people like Anne of Carversville understand that Venice existed as an exciting beacon of human possibility built on cultural diversity, artistry and ideas.

LVMH-owned Bulgari retraces this imaginary trip across the Mediterranean Sea as an inexhaustible source of inspiration layering multiple arts, traditions and crafts into its newest High-Jewelry collection.

“This High Jewelry collection is an homage to the Mediterranean beauty and essence in all its forms. For me, being in the Mediterranean region is an awakening of all senses, and a real inspirational experience. The architecture, the nature, the people, I am eyeing beauty everywhere. Is an inspiring melting pot, where many different cultures and societies have mingled and enriched each other over centuries. Our hospitality and open-mindedness are rooted in this history.” — Lucia Silvestri Bulgari Jewelry Creative Director
