PASTIFICIO SOMMA S.A.S. DI SOMMA SATURNO

The history of Pastificio Somma began at the end of the 15th century when the production of 'macaroni', not mainly for family use, was practised in simple workshops and was a secondary activity compared to milling. Today, the Somma workshop is still a small business, purely artisan in vocation (own and limited production), producing pasta in the same premises where centuries ago wheat was milled and then turned into pasta; it is located in the heart of Gragnano's historic centre (today's Piazza Marconi, just under the arch), universally recognised as the 'cradle of macaroni' in the province of Naples.
