The collection is the result of meticulous work that has lasted over a hundred years. The Sant'Angelo perfumers, once federated, had begun to collect unique pieces, first editions, special bottles. This meticulous work risked being lost when, for different reasons, the federation was dissolved. The Muzio family took charge of the conservation of this treasure and then generously donated it to the Foundation and then to the Perfume Museum.
