History of Pastificio Fabbri employees (3/4): the 1950s

During the 1950s, the Pastificio was located at no. 6-7 of Piazza Emilio Landi, that is, just a few metres from the original headquarters (no. 1-2-3-4) where the mill, bakery and grocery store were also located. From that moment on, the family business focused only on pasta making. To support this development, Renzo Fabbri (third owner of the Pastificio) purchased an improved model of the company’s first continuous “Cantini” press in 1958, which still allows the company to produce pasta with an ancient flavour today. Renzo hired three new employees to replace the first generation of pasta-makers and to face the growth in demand.
