One-Shot (dir. Olivier Montiège, South Korea)

White Gold (dir. Damiano Monaco, Italy)
A mystery surrounds the figure of Vittorio Amedeo Gioanetti, brilliant chemist, entrepreneur and freemason who turned Turin into one of the most important centers for the production of porcelain between 700 and 800. An entrepreneurial adventurer wanted by the Savoy who, with the Vinovo Royal Porcelain Factory, wanted to challenge the other European courts in the field of applied art artifacts.
A few years of intensive activities were enough for Gionetti’s works to catch the attention of Emperor Napoleon and, later, to be disputed by the most important museums worldwide (New York, London, Limoges, Turin, Geneva, Faenza), as well as by the most important auction houses.
But what is the mysterious formula to produce porcelains so refined that we still don’t know today? A team of chemists, historians, museum curators and professors talk about this extraordinary adventure in between entrepreneurship, art and mystery.
