Bvlgari sponsors Torlonia Marbles exhibition at Louvre

Bvlgari is the main sponsor of the Torlonia Marbles – the largest private collection of ancient sculptures preserved to date and restored by Fondazione Torlonia with the support of Bvlgari – currently on display at the Louvre, Paris

The collection is on public view outside Italy – for the first time after its restoration by Fondazione Torlonia with the support of the Roman Maison Bvlgari – for the exhibition “Masterpieces from the Torlonia Collection” on display from June 26 to November 11, 2024, in the Denon Wing at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The exhibition is sponsored by Bvlgari, in the frame of the Maison’s patronage initiatives to preserve the unrivalled artistic legacy of its cradle and first source of inspiration: Rome. An enduring commitment that already inspired its collaboration with Fondazione Torlonia.

Brought together by the Torlonia princely family during the nineteenth century in Rome, the superb collection of marbles was restored to its original splendor in recent years. The result of the agreement, signed between Bvlgari and Fondazione Torlonia, saw the Roman Maison as the main sponsor of the restoration of a selection of over 100 statues from the collection.

In the splendid setting of the recently restored Anne of Austria’s summer royal apartments, the Torlonia Marbles establish an unprecedented dialogue with the permanent collection of ancient sculptures of the Louvre, which have been located in Denon Wing since the museum’s birth in the eighteenth century.
