The Pasta Museum in Rome

As we all know Italians are known for their pasta, it is the land of pasta. That is why it is only fitting they have a museum devoted to the golden dish of the Roman Gods. Anyone who enters the pasta museum is instantly gratified as they explore the history and production of this world renowned commodity. Even though the vibrant informational displays are in Italian, those not accustomed to the language don’t get to miss out on the once in a lifetime opportunity as English speaking guides take visitors through the museum. Strolling through the museum, a visitor is encircled by pictures depicting the origin and history of pasta throughout the years. The museum also leads visitors through the process of how pasta is made, starting with its beginnings as wheat all the way until it reaches the end of its timeline to your dinner table. Inside, art work containing pasta is displayed throughout the walls, as well as a pasta theater for the true die hard fan of the Italian dish. The museum ensures the average pasta enthusiast is not left disappointed as they have been educated about pasta with exciting facts. For most, the pasta museum can be an exciting afternoon that tops any of the other museums in Rome.Unforntunately I haven't been able to see the museum because it is closed for the 2008 summer. Hopefully next time I come back to Rome I will be able to see the museum and learn more about the pasta industry.
