By Katy Winter She may be known for her fine, French elegance, but Carla Bruni made sure all eyes were on her by adding some very expensive Italian glamour to her look at a recent event. Wearing a diamond serpent necklace worth £8 million euro, or £6.7 million, the former French first lady was in attendance at the re-opening of the historic shop of jewels, Bulgari, in Via Condotti in Rome. The event took place following restoration works to mark the 130th anniversary of the prestigious jewellers.
