“BAFTA is a leading arts charity, and our mission to level the playing field, support talent and champion the screen arts, could not be achieved without partnership. Bulgari’s long association with the film world, through its jewelry and watch collections, makes it a fitting and much-valued partner,” Millichip added.
Building up to the U.K.’s biggest night for the film industry on Feb. 16 at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, Bulgari will host the “Eternally Reborn: 140 years” exhibition from Feb. 7 to 28 at its New Bond Street store to celebrate the partnership with BAFTA and its cinematic heritage.
The exhibition aims to show the many faces of Rome through the Bulgari Heritage collection in eight chapters: the Eternal City, the City of Romulus, the 7 Hills, the City of Marbles, the City of 1000 Bell-Towers, Hollywood on the Tiber, the City of Lovers and Caput Mundi. It will include rare pieces once owned by cinema legends like Elizabeth Taylor and Silvia Mangano.
