Galleria del Grano - Pasta Museum

Galleria del Grano Museum

Located in an antique wheat mill of the town, still visible is where the wheat used to be washed and processed before beeing used for the pasta production, and various tools once used for the purpose.

Saturno Somma, owner of the famous Pasta Somma lab, decided to develop this exhibition area after finding archaeological finds during renovations, now here can speak of the artisanal traditions and history of this land; his family has indeed been collecting artifacts and materials over the years for this precise purpose. The walls of the Galleria del Grano display the tale of a centennial story, the museum has always been used as a mill transformed today into a tribute to the history of maccheroni and its territory.

The Museum will help the visitors discover how pasta is born from wheat and what processes are used for mixing and drying it in the age-old methods of making pasta by hand.

We look forward to your visit!
