Gragnano Pasta

Don Alfonso 1890 Gragnano Pasta.

In the 20th century, Gragnano pasta production faced competition from large pasta factories in northern Italy, which had greater capital. The 1980 earthquake aggravated the situation and drastically reduced the number of pasta factories.

Livia and Alfonso Iaccarino, believed in recovering wise production methods and this was possible thanks to the work of some artisans who are at least as willing and stubborn as they are.

With the search for ancient flavors, Don Alfonso 1890, in those years, succeeded in arousing such a demand, that a completely abandoned market flourished again, creating a kind of throwback economy based on the enhancement of artisanal productions.

Having recovered this vocation of the area, the pasta makers of yesteryear have begun to produce again, and today their pastas can be found in delicatessens throughout Italy and the world.
