Hermitage Collection The Hermitage Museum is located in six magnificent buildings situated along the River Neva, in the heart of St. Petersburg.Put together throughout two centuries and a half, the hermitage art collections mirror the development of world culture and art from the prehistoric era till today.Visconti, which has been already inspired by museums like Uffizi and Alhambra, selected the Hermitage for a new exclusive collection that will be limited to only 99 sets of pens worldwide.The collection was inspired by the marvellous jewellery masterpieces of the Hermitage, which Visconti with its creativity has turned in beautiful pens.The Magi, Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar, were rich and powerful kings, who carried gifts with them.The number three identifies here three ethnic groups which humanity was divided in during the ancient times. According to the Old Testament each group was founded by one of Noah's sons. The three gifts are a symbol of a dual nature, both human and divine: gold, incense and myrrh.
