The Spaghetti Story:

Spaghetti – the most recognized and best-selling pasta format in the world. The term "spaghetto" first appeared in 1824 in Antonio Viviani's playful poem "Li maccaroni di Napoli." Until the 1700s, all pasta was simply called "macaroni." Originally measuring 50 cm in length, spaghetti were shortened to the current 25 cm format for greater comfort and practicality. This Senatore Cappelli version honors that heritage while elevating it with Italy's most prized ancient wheat – the ultimate expression of Italian pasta excellence.
