Chloe Sevigny, Jessica Alba, Margherita Missoni, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Lewis, Selma Blair, Fern Mallis, the Bvlgari Family andPatricia Field strolled along the Palazzo delle Esposizioni to the Castel Sant’Angelo, backdrops as stunning as the jewelry for which Bvlgari is known and to which it can attribute its longevity.
