Hello everyone!

I want to show you one really interesting site, that content a lot of pictures, news, informations, historycall repert about tins that can talk about the italian history from 1890 to 1950. Is a big and interesting collection, reunited in a lovely museum, located in Cerano, a little italian city. Is really great pleace, because people can discover the real age and story about tins, with postcards, advertising signs and stamps associated...

There're some amazing, stunning pieces...The collector is Marina Durand De la Penne, that start to collect tins when an old woman, like a grandmother, gift her a beautifull biscuit Saiwa tin...

There's an interesting article, as well,  about the cleaning of tins, with suggest about product and procedures and a great catalogue divided into brands, industries and content...

So, if someone need help to traslate some words inside the site, don't esitate to ask. In a few month, I'll come back in Italy for a few days. I'll must to find the time to visit this museum and take a lot of pictures!
