Spanish Steps in Rome Closed for Renovation
By SENATUS Travel | 9 October 2015

The famed tourist attraction in the Eternal City is set to be closed for seven months as it is restored in a project funded by BVLGARI.

The 18th-century Baroque-style stairway, which has 144 steps, was last refurbished 20 years ago. Local restorer Il Cenacolo expects to complete the works, which includes ncludes re-levelling the steps to repair natural wear and maintenance of the rainwater drainage system, as well as restoring the original lamps which illuminate the steps by night, by spring 2016.

"Rome has always been the number one source of inspiration for Bulgari so it is right to give back to Rome what Rome has given Bulgari," explained BVLGARI CEO Jean-Christophe Babin of the Italian jeweller's pledge in response to a government plea for help in financing Italy’s heritage monuments.

Luxury shoemaker Tod’s is also financing works at the Colosseum, whilst Fendi is refurbishing the Trevi Fountain.
