Bvlgari and Fondazione Iannaccone Present 'Corpi di Luce' in Rome
The Bvlgari boutique in Rome, opened in 1905 by Sotirio Bulgari on Via dei Condotti, hosts 'Corpi di Luce,' an exhibition in collaboration with the Fondazione Giuseppe Iannaccone. Curated by Daniele Finaroli, the show juxtaposes contemporary artworks—paintings, photographs, and a sculpture by Kiki Smith—with Bvlgari jewelry, exploring light as an active substance shaping body, landscape, and memory. The exhibition is part of an ongoing partnership between Bvlgari and the foundation, following a previous iteration in Milan. On the ground floor, works by Piero Guccione, Francesco Gennari, Karen Kilimnik, Cindy Sherman, Roberto De Pinto, Tyler Mitchell, Caleb Hahne Quintana, and Raqib Shaw are displayed, many from the artists' early careers. A single sculpture by Kiki Smith, 'Marie Thérèse' (2003), depicting a warrior holding a lit candle and a bouquet, is on the first floor. Emerging photographer Federica Belli (born 1996 in Mondovì) contributes four works, including 'Lisbon #5,' printed on Fujiflex photosensitive paper to capture light underwater. The exhibition runs until October 4, 2026.
