Established over 70 years ago in the city of Torino in
northern Italy, IMPERIA started out as a private business
and was incorporated in 1932. As the Company gradually
evolved, it became an established brand for durable
household products; a reputation, which began with the
manual roller pasta machine which, was introduced in the
late 1920's. Over the years IMPERIA's product range
expanded to include over 40 items all of which, whether they
be for restaurants or domestic use, are specifically
designed to ensure unsurpassed fresh homemade pasta, Italian
style. IMPERIA's products are now sold
worldwide. This growth has had no adverse effect on
the Company's family style and we still take great pride in
the quality of our products which are renown as the very
best domestic and restaurant pasta machines.
Villaware originated in
1906 in Little Italy's Murray Hill neighborhood in
Cleveland, where Angelo Vitantonio invented the first
hand-crank pasta machine, thereby becoming a town hero.
Until then, pasta was rolled by hand, laid flat, and
painstakingly cut with a knife. Angelo's pasta machine and
the business it generated started this family-run company.
Luigi, Angelo's son, invented (among other items) the
ravioli tray and the cavatelli maker, while Gene (Luigi's
son, who is now 80 and still does all of the company's
engineering and new product design and comes to work every
day) invented the first Belgian waffle maker for home use
and the electric pizzelle maker. Gene's son, Bob, is
now Villaware's president, making this a true family
business; he's also an inventor, and is responsible for many
of the company's newer products.
