The rather talented Gianluca Migliarotti - who many know as the director behind O’Mast - recently completed a short film on the largest mill Italy: Vitale Barberis Canonico. The family who owns the mill has been producing cloth since at least 1663, from which there are documents reporting the delivery of a “sala grisa” (grey wool) to the Duke of Savoy by Ajmo Barbero. Today, they make cloth for merchants such as Holland & Sherry, Smiths, Wain Shiell, and Dormeuil.
The trailer for this film was released about five months ago, but this is the full 15-minute feature. As to be expected from Gianluca, it’s shot beautifully. You can see it here on Vimeo or watch the embedded version below. Enjoy.
