VOIELLO S.p.A. is an Italian pasta producer.
After the termination of the company, founded in Torre Annunziata in 1879, the brand was taken over by Barilla in 1973. Its products are mainly produced in a production plant of the latter located in Marcianise, in the province of Caserta.
Company History Edit
In 1879 Teodoro Vojello built a factory; his son Giovanni Vojello continued his work and completed it by founding what is known today as the Antico Pastificio Giovanni Voiello, located in the Maresca district, in the town of Torre Annunziata, the capital of white art.
In 1910 the Voiello pasta factory produced 30,000 quintals of pasta, sold only on the Piazza di Napoli. During the twentieth century, the pasta factory expanded production through the introduction of modern technologies that gradually brought pasta from the table of a select few to that of everyone. From Naples and Campania, Voiello pasta reached Milan, Turin, Bergamo, Genoa and Florence.
If the First World War did not affect the Torrese plant, the second destroyed it almost completely: in the fifties the production had indeed collapsed from 20,000 to 10,000 quintals.
At the beginning of the seventies the old and obsolete plants required a modernization, realized in effect in 1973 thanks to the meeting with Barilla, which practically saved the company taking over the management of the company, moving and expanding the plants in Terra di Lavoro to the city of Marcianise.
