On the March 26, 2020 took place a tour around the halls of the Winter Palace in Italian, one of the most significant in a series of live streams. In such a unique way the museum decided to express support to the Friends of the Hermitage in Italy, and all Italians in general, who are trouble times now, and as all of us, are fighting against the COVID-19.
This live stream raised a colossal feedback. Italians really appreciated this action. They are looking forward to watching the new online tours in their mother tongue, while the viewers from the other countries ask the Hermitage's staff in the comments to hold live streams in other languages as well.
