A new and welcome addition to the group of the so-called Musei del Cibo (Food Museums): the Museo della Pasta (Pasta Museum) will be inaugurated this weekend in Collecchio, in the province of Parma. The museum aims to tell the story, culture and gastronomy related to a product that is a symbol of Italian food in the world, pasta. It is located inside the splendid medieval court of Giarola. The story of pasta in this area of Italy goes back to the 19th century, when food giant Barilla begins its production, making the area a stronghold of pasta production. And with Barilla begins the story of the museum, which also houses some of the objects and machines that tell the story of pasta and of the evolution of the industry associated with it.
