Metamorphosis is a central theme of contemporary creativity, investigated by artists, stylists, designers, philosophers and artisans who have crossed the exclusive fences of their respective disciplines in search of their changing inclusiveness. With a pioneering spirit, Bulgari also explores them in their different meanings: symbolic, creative and artistic. The protagonist of the narration is the snake, an emblem of regeneration in all cultures and an icon of the goldsmith's mastery of the Roman maison from the 1940s to today.

Finally, on the artistic side, Bulgari asked five artists to represent their own idea of metamorphosis: Refik Anadol, Ann Veronica Janssens, Azuma Makoto, Daan Roosegaard and Vincent Van Duysen have thus interpreted them through the poetics of their respective artistic languages, with results surprising, heterogeneous and powerful, demonstrating how they are the most revolutionary and profound act in a person's life,
