Following the success of previous editions, BVLGARI will inaugurate the fourth edition of SerpentiForm at the word renowned Chengdu Museum. It will be available to public from the 29th April to the 25th of August. 

Epitomising seduction, rebirth and transformation, the snake as a symbol has been intertwined for centuries with the story of mankind, capturing imaginations from East to West. During the 1940s, BVLGARI captured the expressive power of this evocative symbol, reinterpreting it for the first time in jewellery with supple bracelet-watches.

Precious antiquities from Italy and from China examine the different symbolic meanings of the snake, ranging from objects of veneration to talismans, from a form of generative divinity to a medium to communicate with otherworldly dimensions. The exhibition also features costumes from prestigious theatre and fashion archives, such as an amazing Turandot costume of 1926 on loan from the Giacomo Puccini Foundation in Italy. Moreover, delightful vintage evening dresses will illustrate how the snake became an eccentric ally for women in their playful seduction.

Lastly, a review of splendid BVLGARI Serpenti creations from the Maison archives and private collections will close the exhibition. The selection includes current creations and archival creations that will be on display for the very first time. 

延续前几版的蛇形热潮，宝格丽(BVLGARI)第四版蛇形雕塑开馆仪式将在举世闻名的成都博物馆隆重登场，并且将于4月29日至8月25日向公众开放。

蛇象征着诱惑、重生和蜕变，几个世纪以来，它一直与人类的故事交织，从东方到西方，捕捉着人们的想象力。1940年，宝格丽巧妙的利用了这一令人回味的符号表现力，首次以柔软妖娆的蛇形珠宝设计腕表进行重新诠释。来自意大利和中国的珍贵文物考察了蛇的不同象征意义，从崇拜对象到护身符，从生成神的形式到与超然世界维度沟通的媒介。

展会的看点还来自著名剧院和时尚珍藏馆的服饰，比如1926年从意大利普契尼基金会(Giacomo Puccini Foundation)借来的一件令人惊叹的图兰朵之服装。此外，透过怡人的复古晚礼服将叙述蛇如何成为女性们的古怪盟友，进行俏皮的诱惑。

最后，从宝格丽Maison珍藏品和私人收藏精选呈现的宝格丽蛇形雕塑作品回顾将作为展览会完结点。这也将包含首次展出的当前热门和经典珍藏作品。
