AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Iron, enameled metal,
Working
NOTE: broken glass but it still holds up well
Old circular countertop illuminated sign from Ferraniacolor, probably dating from the 1950s or 1960s. This Italian company produced very famous photographic and motion-picture films in its day. The sign has a blue border and a colorful graphic with the word "Ferraniacolor" prominently displayed
History: The origins of Ferrania go back to 1882, when a dynamite factory was established in Cengio, Liguria, under the name SIPE (Società Italiana Prodotti Esplodenti). World War I led to an expansion of the plant, and the birth of a new factory at Ferrania.
Toward the end of the conflict, an industrial reconversion plan was started, and the joint-stock company FILM (Fabbrica Italiana Lamine Milano) was formed for the production of cinematographic film, affiliated with Pathé Frères of Vincennes, the largest French factory of sensitive material, founding, in 1923, what would later become Ferrania.
In 1932, Film Cappelli–Ferrania was born, with FILM absorbing the Milan-based Cappelli, producer of glass photographic plates.
