About this experience
Our tour encompasses history, culture, art and food in an area that in the past the Romans had called Campania Felix because of the special feature of our mineral-rich soil thanks to the proximity of Mount Vesuvius.
Thanks to these minerals in the Stabiese - Gragnanese area, a type of wheat has grown that has characterized the production of pasta until today while preserving traditional production methods, making Gragnano the Pasta Capital of the World.
