One of the most significant inventions in the world of catering equipment concerns pasta: let’s tak about the bronze man.
It was in the first half of the 19th century and in Naples, as well as throughout Italy, pasta had reached the popularity it still has today.
But if everyone had fallen in love with pasta, there were still many reservations about the way it was prepared.
The dough, in fact, was piled in a room and then modelled by climbing on it barefoot. Not really something that would make you drool, right?
It was therefore in 1833 that the brilliant businessman Cesare Spadaccini, owner of a large pasta factory in Naples, designed a manual mixer with bronze blades, so that “a food so appreciated by the noble and the commoner” did not have “to be prepared in such a repulsive and indecent way“.
So, it is thanks to Cesare that nowadays we can enjoy a good pasta dish without having to worry whether or not a bunch of people have danced on it.
And, by the way, if you need other catering equipment to make your life easier, just ask!
