De Cecco “ages” by 55 years

The history of De Cecco pasta dates back to 1831 and not to 1886, as reported so far on the packaging of the well-known Italian pasta brand.

The change derives from careful historical, legal, scientific and archival research that certifies that the De Cecco family has been millers since 1831 and then pasta makers with the pride of formal continuity without corporate transitions. The documentary material collected in fact reports that the De Cecco family has been discontinuous bakers from 1801 to 1811 and continuous millers from 1831 to today, and then pasta makers.
