1795 Gaetano Liguori , the founder, obtained from the Municipal Council of Gragnano the concession to " make and sell good quality and unique macaroni " within his shop, creating one of the oldest pasta producers in Italy and in the world.
1820 His son Vincenzo Liguori officially founded the Pastificio Liguori in the historic headquarters in Via Roma using the first machinery powered by human force.
1845 King Ferdinand II of Bourbon, after visiting Gragnano and tasting Liguori pasta, granted the pasta factory the privilege of supplying pasta to the royal residence of Quisisana, where the king spent his summer holidays with his court.
1939 Production of the high-quality “ Alba d'Oro” pasta line begins , the first to be exported to the United States.
