Rome, the Museum of the Mausoleum of Augustus will be born. Bulgari will finance it with 700 thousand euros

The Museum of the Mausoleum of Augustus will be born and the Maison Bulgari will finance it with 700 thousand euros. This was announced by Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri during the presentation of the Bvlgari Foundation. The museum layout will be entrusted to archistar Rem Koolhaas and is scheduled to open in 2026, together with the Mausoleum still under restoration.

The museum will house all the finds made within the archaeological area, such as the head of Venus unearthed just over a year ago.

“We are very proud of this link and glad that Bulgari can strengthen it,” said Mayor Gualtieri alongside Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bulgari. “The Maison’s patronage has made it possible in recent years to restore six monuments, most recently the work on the statues of the Vittoriano and the Sacred Area of Largo Argentina, which is establishing itself as one of the most important and visited places in the city. A season of work is underway with many surprises and many finds that have slowed down a bit, but will make the Mausoleum richer.”

Gualtieri also announced that work on Augustus Emperor Square will be completed by the end of this year, in time for the Jubilee. The first lot will be completed in June, while the second lot will be completed by the end of the year. “It will be a beautiful square that will connect with curbs the ancient level with the modern one and give an extraordinary place with the Mausoleum of Augustus in the center,” the mayor said.

“The Bvlgari Foundation will bring an important contribution to the professional growth of girls and boys in our city, starting from the most popular neighborhoods, where we will work to create new opportunities, to encourage and concretely help young people who want to study to work in the fields of design and fashion,” concluded Alessandro Onorato, councilor for Major Events, Sports, Tourism and Fashion.

The Bvlgari Foundation aims to enhance the environment and society through a long-term commitment based on the philosophy of “giving back.” By creating a bridge between tradition and the future, it also aims to breathe new life into traditional arts and crafts to ensure their transmission to future generations. Bulgari’s legacy of craftsmanship will inspire existing and new partnerships that will help create professional opportunities for the younger generation in the field of craftsmanship, recognize and give visibility to talent in the industry, and develop training programs that enhance the professional skills of Bulgari’s master craftsmen. Established by Bulgari S.p.A., Bvlgari Foundation will be governed by a board of directors led by President Jean-Christophe Babin and Vice President Laura Burdese.
