Artigiano Fabbri pasta factory
Same family,
same square, same pasta
For 5 generations. Artisanal pasta since 1893
We have made our pasta exactly the same way since 1893, without any changes, passing the company down directly from father to son in Piazza Emilio Landi in Strada in Chianti.
The history of our company began in 1893.
When great-grandfather Giovanni Fabbri moved from Cintoia to Strada in Chianti, a few kilometers closer to Florence, he brought with him the ancient knowledge of his parents, who were farmers, millers, and pasta makers.
Giovanni Fabbri:
The Founder
Giovanni Fabbri moved from Cintoia and acquired a plot in Piazza Landi (thanks to his wife's dowry), where he established his pasta factory with a mill, oven, and grocery store. In the early 1900s, the business was located at numbers 1-2-3-4 in the square. Even today, just as in 1893, the pasta factory frames the village square.
The Electric Pasta Factory
The Pastificio transitioned from the marble wheel with a horse to an electric pasta factory, referred to as the “hygienic processing” as stated in an invoice from that year, which can be found in the Fabbri Museum.
Livio Fabbri
2nd generation
Upon Giovanni's death, his son Livio inherits the Pasta Factory while his other son, Lionello, takes over the bakery and the grocery store.
The Reconstruction After the War
At the end of the war, the bakery, mill, and all the machinery are damaged by mines, and part of the ceiling collapses, leaving only the walls standing. The Fabbri family repairs the war damage and resumes operations, using the same machines, at No. 6-7 of the same square.
Renzo Fabbri
3rd generation
Renzo, leading the company alongside his father Livio, acquires the first “Cantini” press to spearhead the company’s growth. Today, the improved 1958 model remains the heart of our production.
The new pasta factory
The pasta factory moves to its current location at No. 18 Piazza, where once there were stables.
Giovanni Fabbri
4th generation
At the age of 16, Giovanni, great-grandson and namesake of the company's founder, joins the pasta factory alongside his father Renzo.
Marco
5th generation
Giovanni's son, Marco, leads the company alongside his father, continuing the 125-year-old family tradition.
Knowledge passed down through 5 generations
For over a century, from father to son, the Fabbri family has passed down their knowledge and production secrets. The excellence of our raw materials, combined with 125 years of experience, ensures Fabbri pasta maintains exceptionally high quality and a unique flavor.
Our pasta
The Fabbri Method
For 5 generations, the Fabbri Method has been about attention to the entire supply chain.
To choosing the finest wheat, delicate pasta-making, and natural drying at controlled temperatures. All done with original 1950s bronze machinery and dies.
