Hermitage. The Power of Art

St. Petersburg’s Hermitage is much more than a stunning museum; it is a place of wonders and infinite beauty, a cradle of faith in humanity’s ability to surpass its boundaries and achieve divine grandeur. This cinematic homage, narrated by prolific Italian actor Toni Servillo, unfolds the earthshaking stories and events that have passed down the museum’s corridors and through the streets of the consequential city of St. Petersburg: from the splendor of Catherine the Great to the 1917 Revolution, from Pushkin’s lyrics to Bryullov’s paintings. A legend that carries on through centuries, conveyed in masterpieces of art that leave an indelible mark on the human legacy.
