One of the world's leading luxury brands, BVLGARI was founded in Rome in 1884 by the jeweler Sotir Bulgari who later passed the business on to his sons and grandsons. Today, BVLGARI produces and markets several product lines, including jewelry, watches, fragrance, skincare, accessories, and hotels through a network of more than 250 stores in the most exclusive shopping areas in the world.
