It was back in the 60s when our founder Giovanni Rana used to roam the countryside road, balancing heavy trays on the back of his second-hand red Guzzi motorbike to deliver handmade tortellini to local groceries in the Verona area. We’ve come a long way since 1962: we never forgot our roots and we constantly stay true to them. Over the years Pastificio Rana has grown into a huge family, now counting 3500 members spread over almost 60 countries around the world. This was made possible thanks to Gian Luca Rana, Giovanni’s son. He has been working passionately for 30 years serving as CEO, using his vision and strong leadership to give the company an international footprint, from our original plant in San Giovanni Lupatoto to five plants across Italy, one in Belgium and even two in Chicago. The devotion to the quality of our products and our creativity have allowed us over the years to reach the highest level of innovation, which has enabled us to conquer new challenges and satisfy the desires of our customers around the world.

From the small “Fara San Martino Factory”, which started out as a simple mill, to a “world Factory”: De Cecco took on this great challenge and won. A goal achieved thanks to the ability to keep the great traditions of a family company alive without ever giving up on your dreams and the determination to push boundaries. Since 1886, the De Cecco family has guaranteed continuity by handing down their knowledge from father to son and placing great importance on every product. Their active participation in company life and a special dedication to their employees has made the factory into one big family. De Cecco has always kept an eye on the times and responded swiftly to all national and international needs, making its homeland proud. Abruzzo, where the heart of production is still based, saw the birth of De Cecco, saw it grow and now watches it bring excellent pasta to tables all over the world. But in the future even further away destinations await and De Cecco must focus on the horizon. That is why De Cecco is integrated its offer with new lines of products. In 1986 the Olive Oil Company was founded, and would soon be followed by lines of rice, potato gnocchi, tomato products and sauces, balsamic vinegar of Modena, flours, organic products and bread substitutes: in short, everything you need for a good Italian meal.
