Ferrania Film Museum, Industrial film museum in Cairo Montenotte, Italy.
The Ferrania Film Museum is an industrial museum in Cairo Montenotte that documents the history of film manufacturing in the region. Six thematic rooms display cameras, films, measurement tools, and media that explain the craft and factory's story.
The factory was founded in 1917 and grew into a leading maker of light-sensitive material for photography and radiography. Throughout the 20th century, it remained central to film technology and innovation in Italy.
The exhibition honors factory workers through personal objects and spaces that show what daily life inside the plant looked like. You see how craftsmanship and innovation came together in this community and shaped people's identity.
The museum is located on the second floor of Palazzo Scarampi and offers guided tours and educational programs about film production history. Visitors should plan ahead as tours and special programs are arranged by appointment.
The collection holds original patents and issues of the Ferrania magazine that document Italian film manufacturing. Audio recordings from former workers offer personal insights rarely found in other museums.
