Roman high jeweler Bvlgari has opened the Serpenti Infinito Exhibition in Shanghai to celebrate the upcoming Year of the Snake. 

Held at Zhangyuan until February 16, the exhibition offers a deep dive into the art, craftsmanship, and infinite transformations inspired by Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti motif.

Notably, the Serpenti Infinito Exhibition showcases 28 artworks by 19 Chinese and international artists, including 11 exclusive creations. Among the highlights is the “Infinito: AI Data Sculpture” by Refik Anadol, a three-dimensional piece displayed in a 360-degree mirrored room, unveiled for the first time.

The exhibition unfolds in three chapters starting with “Crafting Serpents in History”, followed by “Snakes in the Arts” and “Contemporary Transformations”. 

The exhibition launched with an opening cocktail party, hosted by Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin, which welcomed over 350 international guests, including LVMH Greater China president Andrew Wu, Tiziana D’Angelo, consul general of Italy in Shanghai, and exhibition curator Cao Dan.

To further mark the Year of the Snake, Bulgari Hotels & Resorts will introduce dedicated Serpenti Suites worldwide. These suites will feature curated interiors inspired by the snake’s allure, with the Shanghai property offering an exclusive VR experience of the exhibition from January 9 to 11.
