"riavviamento e settaggio" means restarting and fine-tuning. If everything stopped and they are indeed restarting production, it would be good news.
Did "it" ever look good for this venture.?I hate to say it, but it doesn't look good, does it?
It's certainly not how I would operate, especially if you want to hold on to existing customers, and dispel rumours.

Pardon me for exaggerating a bit, but........... talk about rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic

With Orwo it said the same, somewhere it was noted that they move to a better suited building to improve production. About 1.5 years ago sellout of B&W movie film (16mm and 35m) happened - and since then no new B&W movie film came into the webstore.
Someone said they even sold machinery to produce such stock. Does anyone happen to know who bought this machines?
There hasn't been a film manufacturer by the name of Orwo for a very long time. It's a brand, not a manufacturer. Manufacturing has been done over the past few years by InovisCoat AFAIK, and they are a fabless outfit renting time on the production facilities of Polaroid. There's a bit of a complex and dynamic arrangement with Jake Seal as an important protagonist going on involving several companies operating under the name ORWO, as well as InovisCoat and FilmoTec. None of them have actual film manufacturing (coating) capacity. Ferrania would presently add that asset to the family.Someone said they even sold machinery to produce such stock.
Summary: ask @Henning Serger, he can summarize this like no other. Ferrania's future: your guess is as good as mine. So far it's unclear what the exact plans of Seal are with the cluster of legal entities he has been accumulating, discontinuing, reviving etc. And then there's the quite possibly significant gap between his plans and reality.could someone provide a succinct summary of what happened as it might pertain to Ferrania's future?

The wish of the forum members here is my command.
There is indeed lots of misinformation circling around. Lots of it coming from youtubers with no knowledge about film production, and especially no knowledge about the European and German film manufacturers. This misinformation is then repeated in social media groups like reddit, instagram, facebook.
Best is probably to explain the whole complex situation in its own dedicated thread, and in full detail. I hope to find time for that in the coming weeks.
Best regards,
Henning
