Eclettica is built around the concept of aesthetic diversity — a spirit deeply rooted in Bvlgari’s Roman DNA. More than 160 new designs, including 14 transformable creations and over 50 pieces from the “Millionaire Jewels” collection, were presented as structured works rather than mere decorative jewelry. In particular, nine masterpieces named Capolavori took center stage, reflecting the brand’s approach to jewelry as an independent form of art.
The Gala Dinner and High Jewelry presentation took place at Villa Arconati, a historic residence built based on studies of Leonardo da Vinci’s manuscripts. Often referred to as the “Versailles of Milan,” the venue welcomed guests with its illuminated façade, leading them into an evening structured in three artistic chapters.
The menu, designed by Michelin-starred chef Viviana Varese, served as a sensory prelude. Each room corresponded to a different artistic language: painting came alive through color dialogues in the Sala di Fetonte; sculpture was interpreted through materials and movement in the Sala del Paesaggio; while architecture was expressed through the rhythm of reflected light in the Rococo Ballroom, where antique mirrors doubled the space and light, evoking the geometric precision found in gemstone craftsmanship.
The evening concluded with a performance that blended classical music and installation art. Vertical columns of light, reminiscent of Roman architecture, were erected as sculptural structures within the space. Musicians performed inside these luminous pillars, their silhouettes cast onto the walls, creating a serene and immersive visual effect. Models wearing custom designs by Italian designer Francesco Murano moved slowly, merging seamlessly with the rhythm of light and music.
