Spaghetti, tagliatelle, ravioli, macaroni, farfalle or cannelloni, pasta has conquered the world from Sicily, their Italian birthplace.

Tasty and nourishing pasta, become "flat", and not an accompaniment, they traveled as soon as we knew how to dry them.

Pans of Italian culture to eat and share, carried in the suitcases of those leaving for a better life elsewhere.

They made a nest almost everywhere - in Asia, the indestructible noodle gave it no chance - and are available today, and are always eaten with love.

Make stories, they carry a heritage within them.
