CCR Special Visit: Diamonds are a girl's best friend! - March 30, 2016

CCR members will have the exclusive chance to enjoy a very special private visit of the BVLGARI flagship store on the iconic Via dei Condotti.

Our tour of this fascinating museum will include the rare opportunity to visit Domus Bulgari, the exclusive space on the upper floor of the store displaying the most amazing jewels that have adorned the necklines of famous movie stars such as Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman and Elizabeth Taylor, to name but a few.

Bulgari pendant earrings and necklace in gold with diamonds worn by Sophia Loren.

Leaving this dazzling universe, enchanted by the glitter and sparkle, we’ll all be humming Marilyn Monroe's memorable tune:

A kiss on the hand
May be quite Continental,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.

...
Square-cut or pear-shaped,
These rocks don't lose their shape.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend!


Dreaming of diamonds may also make us work up an appetite, so we'll head off for an informal drink and snacks at a stylish spot in the Piazza di Spagna area after our tour.

Where: Bulgari main store, via dei Condotti 10; exact meeting point will be provided by email to confirmed participants.
When: Wednesday, March 30, 2016.
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Cost:  free for CCR members, €10 for non-members.
