BENEVENTO – On October 15, 2025, Rummo S.p.A. celebrates the tenth anniversary of the flood that struck Benevento and severely damaged one of Italy’s most beloved pasta producers. The conference, titled “Rummo: A Story of Rebirth and Courage”, will be held at the company’s headquarters on Via dei Grandi Maestri Pastai and will stand as a testament to how a crisis can become a turning point for growth and renewal.
The event will feature key voices from the economic, institutional, and academic world: Ermete Realacci (Symbola Foundation), Ettore Prandini (Coldiretti), Titti Postiglione (Presidency of the Council of Ministers), Maria Latella, Giuliano Noci (Politecnico di Milano), and Francesca Sofia (Cassa Depositi e Prestiti Foundation). The discussion will be moderated by Sebastiano Barisoni, Deputy Director of Radio 24.
It was October 15, 2015, when torrential rain flooded the Sannio area, sweeping away infrastructure, businesses, and homes. The Rummo factory was submerged, with tons of water and mud destroying stock and machinery. Yet, from this devastation emerged an extraordinary story of solidarity and determination. Workers, suppliers, and volunteers from across Italy came together to help the company recover. Online, the hashtag #saveRummo and the slogan “water has never softened us” went viral, turning tragedy into a movement of national pride and support.
Today, Rummo stands as a global success story. The brand exports to over 70 countries, including France, Switzerland, Finland, and the United States. The company continues to invest in research, technology, and sustainability, upholding its signature Metodo Lenta Lavorazione© — a slow-processing method that guarantees exceptional texture and flavor, rooted in a family tradition spanning more than 180 years.
“To succeed in the market, factories and machines are not enough,” explains Cosimo Rummo, President and CEO. “Success is born from courage and a relentless pursuit of quality. It means working tirelessly, driven by passion and the desire to create something extraordinary.”
A decade after the flood, Rummo is not just a pasta brand — it’s a story of collective strength, ethical enterprise, and Italian ingenuity. From mud to excellence, Rummo embodies the resilience of a nation that turns adversity into opportunity.
