The Venue
The Cannon-Sandretto Plastic Museum “Civiltà della Plastica” is located in the Art Nouveau style representative building of the former Sandretto factory in Pont Canavese, now owned by the Cannon group, an Italian leader in the technology sector for plastics, for energy and for industrial automation. The museum, inaugurated in 1995, was subsequently restored and hosts, on two floors, displays that tell the story, technology and transformation of plastic, starting from its origins in the first half of the nineteenth century until today.
