About this tour
This session focuses on the National Cinema Museum's own collection, from reconstructed sets on the ground floor to the spiral ramp climbing through temporary exhibitions. You see specific props from Italian productions and a changing display along the walkway up. Francesca treats the museum's own curation as much as the building housing it.
She starts on the ground floor among the sets, then climbs the spiral ramp slowly, pointing out whatever exhibition is currently showing. She answers questions about specific films or props throughout.
This suits anyone with a specific interest in Italian cinema. It also pairs naturally with the fuller Mole Antonelliana session for context on the building itself.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
