Bvlgari Hotel Roma - Il busto di Giove

There's an imposing new presence at Bvlgari Hotel Roma; guests are now greeted by a new statue, the Colossal Bust of Jupiter Serapis, upon entering the Hotel's circular vestibule. The statue is a masterpiece from the Torlonia Foundation, which has partnered with Fondazione Bvlgari since 2023 to conserve and restore the world's most important collection of classical art. Works displayed in the foyer are chosen to complement the dream of Emperor Augustus, whose mausoleum is located in the same square as the Bvlgari Hotel Roma, and who is often depicted in art as sharing attributes with Jupiter. By sharing the new bust, Fondazione Bvlgari and the Torlonia Foundation invite the public to experience a distinctive element of Roman history, one that belongs to the world.
