Bulgari creative director lists her favourite hotels, restaurants and museums in Rome and beyond
Lucia Silvestri was in Hong Kong recently to present a jewellery collection. We talked about her favourite spots in her hometown. She loves peaceful hotels, eating in Roman and Tuscan restaurants in the Eternal City and heading south to the Puglia coast to unwind
From the bazaars of Jaipur to the diamond district of New York, Lucia Silvestri, the creative director of Bulgari, is always roaming the planet on her hunt for rare stones. Born and raised in Rome, she’s been working at the jeweller for more than 35 years.
She loves nothing more than going back to Rome to come up with new designs in the company’s headquarters overlooking the Tiber. On a recent visit to Hong Kong to present Bulgari’s Festa collection, she sat down for a chat to reveal her top places in the Eternal City and beyond.
Hotel Hassler and Hotel de Russie are my favourite hotels in Rome. I love Hotel de Russie because it has a beautiful garden and even though you’re in Rome, it’s very quiet and you don’t feel like you’re in the heart of town.
