Bertagni is an Italian food company founded in Bologna by Luigi Bertagni in 1882.
The birth of "Pastificio Bertagni" was in 1882 in the workshop of Luigi Bertagni in Bologna. Luigi Bertagni, with his brothers Ferdinando and Oreste, not only made quality fresh tortellini, but also studied a method in order to package and conserve them, and thus Luigi developed his business. [1] [2]
Thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of Bertagni brothers, their tortellini saw greater sales in Italy and abroad. The Bertagni brothers entered their pastas in numerous World Fairs, winning the bronze medal at The World's Fair in Paris in 1889 and at The Chicago Fair in 1894, and the gold medal in St. Louis in 1904.
Pastificio Bertagni continued its rapid growth and by the beginning of the 20th century was a well known pasta producer. The Bologna Commercial Guide described the company: "Tortellini from Bologna, whose fame went across the seas, by all the gourmets are reputed astoundingly good! It is the Bologna company Bertagni that holds the record of this production and sells tortellini all over the world." [2]
In 1986, the gastronomic critic Corby Kummer declared: Bertagni specialty filled pastas... are excellent and are the closest thing to having a pasta store down the street. [3]
In 2002, the company was sold to pasta industry veterans, resulting in a great increase in sales, carrying its filled pasta specialities onto the tables of the world. [4]
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 and water and sometimes enriched with vitamins and minerals. Italian spaghetti is typically made from durum wheat semolina. Usually the pasta is white because refined flour is used, but whole wheat flour may be added. Spaghettoni is a thicker form of spaghetti, while capellini is a very thin spaghetti.

This was one of the first forays into the study of bioelectricity, a field that studies the electrical patterns and signals from tissues such as the nerves and muscles.
