The Italian Ministry of Business and Made in Italy celebrated 130 years of De Cecco’s activities in the American market. The recognition of this long history came with a stamp issued by the Italian Postal Service. This is the second philatelic recognition, following the issuance of the 2016 stamp celebrating 130 since De Cecco’s founding.

The stamp’s historical reference is to 1893 when De Cecco’s macaroni and vermicelli were awarded a gold medal “for superior texture, color, and toughness after cooking” during the Chicago World’s Fair, the international Expo organized to celebrate the fourth centennial since the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus.
