The National Cinema Museum Association is presenting the Turin premiere of "Oro bianco" by Damiano Monaco.

For the occasion of the tenth anniversary of H12 FILM, the National Cinema Museum Association is organising the Turin premiere of Damiano Monaco’s documentary Oro bianco. The film speaks about the story of the Royal Porcelain Manufactures at Vinovo, which was active at the Della Rovere Castle from 1776 to 1825. A period which saw Vinovo become one of the most important experimenting centres in Europe in this pioneering adventure. The documentary studies the figure of Vittorio Amedeo Gioanetti, the brilliant doctor and chemist who was able to take porcelain production to such excellence that it became an item appreciated in the most important museums and auction houses worldwide. The film was made in collaboration with Coup d'ideè with a contribution by the Municipality of Vinovo and was supported by the Piemonte Doc Film Fund; Oro bianco will be distributed by Coccinelle Film.

Admission 4.00 euro.

The filmmaker and H12 FILM dedicated almost three years to producing this film, involving many professionals: curators, historians, actors and specialists. The creation of the documentary was achieved thanks to an important collaboration with Palazzo Madama and the Accorsi Ometto Foundation, the International Ceramics Museum in Faenza, the Sèvres National Ceramics Museum and five historical archives in Piedmonts and in France.

Meeting before the film with its director Damiano Monaco, Vittorio Sclaverani (AMNC president), Massimiliano Brunetto (writer and historian), Tomaso Ricardi di Netro (head of exhibition activities at La Reggia di Venaria), Andreina d'Agliano (president of the Ceramics Museum in Mondovì), Luca Mana (Accorsi-Ometto Foundation curator) and Alfonso Papa (Film Commission Torino Piemonte).
