Gino’s idea was to restore life to a hill, to this hill, where he chose to plant the seeds of his idea: growing and transforming wheat into pasta, all in a single place. It was the start of the Girolomoni farming cooperative, where production is 100% organic.
Gino Girolomoni was not only a pioneer of organic agriculture in Italy, he was also a political activist, intellectual, writer and above all, a farmer. His life is the story of his dream: restoring dignity to the land and to those who protect it, the farmers. From growing Italian wheat and making wholemeal pasta at the Monastery of Montebello, he was able to trigger the rebirth of an entire area.
