Words about the stairs. In 1837 it underwent a fire. The primitive aspect, created by architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli, was left partly when recreating it architect Vasili Stasov lost. The stairs astonish by its majesty, by the brilliance of its adornments of moldings golden in the walls, by the blinding white marble of the statues, the gigantic rosette representing the Gods in the Mount Olympus.
