Pastificio Riscossa F.lli Mastromauro

It all began in 1902, when Leonardo Mastromauro decided to call his project Riscossa (Renaissance, in Italian) because of its fiery and innovative nature, as those were the times, immediately after the First World War, when everyone was looking for a re-birth, their own “Riscossa”. Leonardo Mastromauro believed then that a new life was possible, and that it would start from "Riscossa", his great brand of pasta!! That’s how the first "Pastificio" was born, in the town of Corato, in the Apulia region, under the name of "Pastificio of Leonardo Mastromauro and sons". In 1950, the production increased from 3 tons to 10 tons per day, the firm’s name was changed to "Pastificio Riscossa of the Mastromauro Brothers", and the premises moved from Piazza Cannizzaro to Via Paisiello, 74.
