THE COMPANY.
Founded in 1924, Rustichella d'Abruzzo is one of the most prestigious Italian companies in the artisanal pasta sector. Located in the heart of Abruzzo, a region famous for its gastronomic tradition, the company was born from the Peduzzi family's dream of bringing the quality and authenticity of true Italian pasta to tables around the world. Today, after nearly a century of history, Rustichella d'Abruzzo continues to produce pasta following artisanal methods, using only the best raw materials and respecting ancient processing techniques. Each pasta format is bronze drawn and slowly dried, preserving all the flavor and texture that make Rustichella pasta unique.
"In 1924 Gaetano Sergiacomo, paternal grandfather of the current owners Gianluigi and Maria Stefania Peduzzi, and children of renowned millers who worked in the Vestina area, decided to get out of the family business and establish the "Pastificio Geatano Sergiacomo" in Penne. In 1980, under the watchful eye of Piero Peduzzi, Pastificio Sergiacomo became Rustichella d'Abruzzo, guaranteeing quality and authenticity, the Peduzzi brothers focused their energies on creating a corporate image that would identify the Rustichella d'Abruzzo brand as synonymous with artisanal quality and made-in-Italy excellence."
