Museum pieces, which are unique pieces from the Bulgari collection, are recognised at purchase cost and, given their nature, are not depreciated but are regularly tested for impairment. In particular, an independent expert was engaged in 2008 to appraise the fair value of the Bulgari Museum. The value appraised by this expert was considerably higher than the carrying amount of the pieces involved.
