One of the most recent donations received by the “Dante Giacosa” was exhibited in one of the display cases dedicated to the models and the peculiarity is that it comes from another Ligurian museum
This is the 500 Giardiniera of the Ferrania of Cairo Montenotte (SV), which was brought to us as a gift by one of the managers of the Ferrania Film Museum
on the occasion of his visit at the end of December
As also recalled in the post on the Ferrania Museum FB page in which the news of the visit is given «In the 50s and 60s FIAT often used Ferraniacolor film to document and promote its cars and
the 500 was one of the most sought-after first prizes in many photography competitions».The two museum structures have in common the fact that they are at the same time deeply linked to the territory in which they are located
but with a view that extends across the world
The hope is that some joint initiative can soon be realized
