Bvlgari's historic Rome boutique on Via dei Condotti hosts "Corpi di Luce" (Bodies of Light), an exhibition curated by Daniele Finaroli in collaboration with the Fondazione Giuseppe Iannaccone. The show pairs contemporary artworks—paintings, photographs, and a sculpture by Kiki Smith—with Bvlgari jewelry, exploring light as an active substance that shapes body, landscape, and memory. Featured artists include Francesco Gennari, Federica Belli, Karen Kilimnik, Cindy Sherman, Roberto De Pinto, Tyler Mitchell, Caleb Hahne Quintana, Raqib Shaw, and Piero Guccione, with works drawn from Iannaccone's private collection and loans from the artists.
The exhibition matters because it exemplifies a growing trend of luxury brands partnering with art foundations to create immersive, culturally resonant retail experiences. By placing contemporary art in a historic boutique—where Elizabeth Taylor once relaxed between film shoots—Bvlgari strengthens its ties to the art world while supporting emerging talent through the Fondazione Giuseppe Iannaccone, which focuses on social impact. The show also marks a continuation of Bvlgari's recent art initiatives, including the 2024 launch of its own Fondazione Bvlgari.
