Bvlgari to Debut Serpenti Infinito Exhibition in India

Bvlgari will present its first-ever exhibition in India at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, Mumbai, from October 1–17, 2025. Marking the third chapter in Bvlgari’s worldwide celebration of the Year of the Snake, the exhibition will be housed at The Art House at the NMACC. Blending high jewellery with cutting-edge contemporary art, Serpenti Infinito will offer a rare glimpse into how one symbol—the Serpenti—has continued to inspire artists, collectors, and style icons for nearly eight decades. The experience fuses heritage with innovation through immersive digital installations, contemporary artworks, and masterful Italian craftsmanship. Curated in collaboration with Nature Morte galleries, the exhibition has been envisioned by Artistic Director Sean Anderson. It features leading Indian and international artists who reinterpret the Serpenti symbol through their own artistic perspectives. The presentation unfolds as a three-part narrative, moving from the mythological and historical to the contemporary and transformative. Visitors will experience interpretations of the serpent across diverse artistic mediums—painting, sculpture, installations, and digital works. Alongside these artworks, pieces from Bvlgari’s Serpenti Heritage collection, High Jewellery creations, timepieces, and masterworks from the archives of the Italian Maison will also be on display.
