Museum

It has restored splendour to the artefacts of industrial archaeology and family history that the Cuomo family kept and which can still be seen today: semolina unloading funnels, wolf's mouths for aeration and the world's only example of a cylinder mill and vertical steam pasta factory.

At one time, this place housed the passageway for durum wheat, which was unloaded here, then through the unloading funnels in the floor was transferred to the underground cisterns to be rinsed, dried and finally transferred to the old Cuomo mill, located at the back of the building, to be milled.

It is the only place in Gragnano to have iron ceilings with vaults made entirely of bricks, while the floors are entirely of original basalt and the walls are made of tuffaceous stones from neighbouring quarries and bricks.

Proprio per la sua configurazione architettonica, questa rappresenta una sede espositiva unica nel suo genere per la suggestione dell’ambiente e la ricchezza dei materiali conservati.

Questo luogo, oltre a documentare la cultura del territorio del Parco Regionale dei Monti Lattari e di Gragnano, conserva antiche trafile in bronzo ed altri oggetti che ne fanno un luogo unico nel suo genere restituendo al visitatore una ricca panoramica della storia produttiva, culturale e progettuale della città.

All the premises of the historic Pastificio Cuomo have been renovated and furnished in full respect of the architectural, urban and stylistic features originally conceived, a clear sign of attention to the ethical, aesthetic and cultural value that we have chosen to share for the enhancement of our territory.
