## 有趣事实

Bulgari was founded by a Greek silversmith who deliberately Italianized his name (Voulgaris → Bulgari) to appeal to Italian aristocracy. The Serpenti collection was inspired by ancient Roman and Greek symbolism — snakes represented wisdom and eternity. Elizabeth Taylor was famously devoted to Bulgari, collecting pieces worth millions.
