Bulgari has recently opened a new flagship store in Sao Paulo, its largest in Latin America. The new Bulgari boutique which is located within the Citade Jardim Mall covers 282 sqm. In a statement, Bulgari explains that the facade features an elegant portal in antique marble, where the iconic logo in Roman letters stands out, with five windows adorned by silk Shantung panels in saffron yellow and crimson pink. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by the eight-pointed Condotti star on the Crema Marfil marble floor and blue accents.

The symbol is a universal emblem that represents balance, harmony and cosmic order; the eight lines symbolize the four cardinal points (North, South, East, West) and time (two solstices and two equinoxes). The element is a symbol present in all Bulgari boutiques around the world and tells the story of the Maison’s artistic diversity and incessant visual innovation. The eight-pointed star is known to be associated with the expression “Roma Caput Mundi”, meaning that all roads lead to Rome.
