Return to the Factory
The title, Return to the Factory, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the return of the
workers and the Paoletti family to Follina from the long exile after the
dramatic events of 1917-18. The
damage is counted, the factory reopens, the siren returns to ring and the
frames start beating again.
The Wool Recipe for Dyeing the colour Scarlet
“Between those walls, inside those
departments, between noises and smells, innovation and history meet, past and
future ... for centuries. And as long as we hear the frames beat, the thread of
memory stretches to always build new plots, always with confidence and courage,
because the challenges are many.”
