Bulgari has completed restoration work on the sculptures on the main elevation of the Altare della Patria in Rome's Piazza Venezia. The initiative once again underscores the Roman fashion house's bond with its city and its historical and artistic heritage. "We are immensely proud to have contributed to the restoration of the sculptures of the Vittoriano, an extraordinary and imposing monument that, with its majesty, embodies a profound link between past and present, standing in the heart of Rome and celebrating the unification of Italy," said Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of the Bulgari group. Directed by Edith Gabrielli and executed by Susanna Sarmati, the restoration had begun last March. The restoration involved marble and bronze sculptures created in the early 20th century by some of the most important artists on the national scene.The restoration was fully funded by Bulgari.
