Held in conjunction with the exhibition BVLGARI KALEIDOS: COLORS, CULTURES AND CRAFTS, this conference explores the central role of color in Bvlgari’s creative universe. From the symbolism of gemstones to the emotional power of chromatic combinations, the talk will examine how color becomes a language of identity, innovation and cultural dialogue. Through a journey across nearly 350 vibrant pieces, spanning from historic masterpieces to contemporary ones, Bvlgari Forvm invites participants to reflect on how color serves as a bridge between Italy and Japan, united by shared aesthetic values and appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship, and design.
