The origins
The history of Riscossa begins in Corato, in Puglia, in 1902. It is here that Cavalier Leonardo Mastromauro founded the "Leonardo Mastromauro & Figli" pasta factory, a small family-run artisan business.
Soon, the quality of Mastromauro's pasta determined its fortune locally: by the end of the 1940s, the pasta factory's production reached the impressive figure of thirty quintals a day.
