“There are many kinds of stories and grandfather Mariano’s was surely written on the land. Our pasta factory has its roots in the middle of his wheat fields. His example was for me the seed from which everything started.”

Massimo Mancini
Chapter 1

One hundred and five

“Our common passion for the land was the strongest link between my grandfather and I. I decided that is not going to change, even though today we say goodbye.”

Chapter 2

The whole is different from the sum of its parts

“A farmer does not scatter his seeds randomly and an inheritance does not necessarily need to be material.“

Chapter 3

Reborn as wheat

“What was a seed for me is now once again a seed for everyone.”

Chapter 4

Nonno Mariano belongs to everyone

“I hope this seed arouses people’s curiosity. My wish is that it may be a vehicle to tell our story and our approach to agriculture, and that it will be a source of inspiration as my grandfather was for me.”

Mariano Mancini (Monte San Pietrangeli, 1908 – 2013) was a curious farmer and an innovative entrepreneur. For those who will be curious to learn about his and our story, they can find it written in this box, together with a little “taste” of it.

“what was a seed for me is now once again a seed for everyone”.

He was also a kind-hearted grandfather, who shared and passed down his passions to a grandson who was willing and able to embrace them.
Mariano surely planted a seed in the mind of his grandson Massimo, founder of Mancini Pastificio Agricolo.
Today, what is left of Mariano Mancini is not just his memory: “Nonno Mariano” [lit. “Grandfather Mariano”] is also a new variety of durum wheat.
Developed through a research that lasted for about 7 years, this wheat variety is the tribute to the man who inspired the “Mancini Pastificio Agricolo” project.
For those who will be curious to learn about his and our story, they can find it written in this box, together with a little “taste” of it.
