In 1941, a project of Maria Adriana Prolo,
historian and collector, gave life to the
National Museum of Cinema.
Member of the Fédération
Internationale des Archives du Film (FIAF)
since 1953, the Museum became a Foundation
in 1992, thanks to the support of the Piedmont
Region, the Municipality of Turin and the
Province of Turin, of the Cassa di Risparimio
di Torino and of the National Museum of Cinema
Association.
The Museum is located inside the Mole Antonelliana,
designed by the great mind of Alessandro Antonelli,
and was inaugurated in July 2000. François
Confino's spectacular setting has turned the
historic building representing the city of
Turin into a unique vertical museum.
