Agnesi is an Italian food company based in Fossano. It was founded in 1824.
Agnesi is the oldest pasta producer brand in history. It all began in 1824 with the purchase of a mill in Pontedassio by Paolo Battista Agnesi (1790–1863), which allowed him to grind 120 quintals of grains a day and directly produce pasta.
The introduction of new milling methods, learned in France by his son Giuseppe, made it possible to increase production and pushed the family to equip its own fleet of sailing ships to supply taganrog from Ukraine (which was then considered the best durum wheat in the world [1] ). For this reason the sailing ship will remain in the symbol of the company. Another large mill was also opened near the port of Oneglia to ensure a faster and more constant supply of raw materials; thus the Paolo Agnesi e Figli company was born. [2]
Pasta is a type of food typically made from an unleavened dough of wheat flour mixed with water or eggs, and formed into sheets or other shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. Unlike noodles, pasta was traditionally only made with durum, although the definition has been expanded to include alternatives for a gluten-free diet such as rice flour, or legumes such as beans or lentils. While noodles are believed to have originated in Asia, pasta is believed to have originated in Italy and is a staple food of Italian cuisine.
Spaghetti is a long, thin, solid, cylindrical pasta. It is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine. Like other pasta, spaghetti is made of milled wheat, water, and sometimes enriched with vitamins and minerals. Italian spaghetti is typically made from durum-wheat semolina.

Capellini is a very thin spaghetti, sometimes known colloquially as "angel hair pasta", while Vermicelli refers to intermediate widths, varying between the United States and Italy.
