Bulgari's archive has tens of thousands of sketches, which continue to inspire the brand's design today.

"It's our heritage, but it's not a limit. It's good to know the ideas of the past to nurture current ones. We always innovate. We never copy. It helps in building something consistent with the brand," she says.

The brand is now planning two other exhibitions－one to be held in Melbourne about women who wore Bulgari and the other in Madrid about Rome, the city that inspired its creativity.

Cinecitta and Beyond－Bulgari Jeweler to the Stars will run through May 1.
