Bulgari To Restore Rome’s Spanish Steps

Bulgari has pledged to invest €1.5 million into restoring Rome's famous Spanish Steps. The two-year refurbishment starts in 2015.

The luxury label is calling the donation a "special gift from Bulgari to its city" and marks the jeweller's 130th anniversary. The baroque-style stairway was built in the 18th century and is one of Rome's most famous landmarks.
