Luigi Raffone
Carnival rhymes with pig

Louigi Raffone is a professional “trafilaio” who started 30 years ago after a bet. Processes that bring “transformation” are his primary passion, and pasta, he said, is a “living” object in continuous transformation.

In the interview, he describes the fundamental role that the trafilaio assumes in the production process of the dough. He guides us in the discovery of multiple forms of pasta through the evolutions in the techniques, materials, and explains the logic of the market and the professional figures making a comparison between the present and the past.
