Our other day out took us to the Martelli Pasta Factory and the Tyrrhenian Sea. While it’s common to stroll through town and find fresh pasta being made, this factory makes dry pasta and ships around the world. As impressive as “around the world” sounds, the place was modest to say the least. They had one machine to make the pasta (using a whopping 2 ingredients – semolina and water), lots of places to hang it to dry, and then one machine to cut it. Then they hand pack it and ship it out. After our tour it was off to the coast where we spent the afternoon in a little seaside town called Vada.
