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 Privacy PolicyExtended informationFiat 500 Club Italia
