THE STORY

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.

1980  Following the Irpinia earthquake which destroyed the historic headquarters in Via Roma,  Gerardo Liguori  dedicated himself to reopening the pasta factory in its current location in  Via dei Pastai 50 .

2013  The  European Commission  awards the  PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) Certification to Gragnano Pasta.  Pastificio Liguori  is the first industrial pasta factory to obtain this certification.

 2017  In November Liguori is among the founding members of the  Consortium for the protection of Gragnano IGP pasta
