Spaghetti were born in Naples, and owe their name to Antonio Viviani in 1842, because they looked like small pieces of string. Initially they were about 50 cm long, but over time they began to be cut, until they reached their current length of 25 cm. Today, Barilla Spaghetti N ° 5 are everywhere synonymous with Italian style: no one can resist their elegance, nor the fascinating process of wrapping them around the fork.
