 The book highlights  how Rome’s well-known landmarks have been a regular source of inspiration for Bulgari and its timeless designs since the house opened its first shop there back in 1884. For example, the design for Bulgari’s famous B-zero1 ring was inspired by the architectural dimensions of the curved walls of the Colosseum. Another example is how the ceiling of the Basilica of Maxentius inspired  the brand’s octagonal watch dials.
