With the heritage of his father’s experiences in the durum wheat cultivation and milling, Benedetto Cavalieri inaugurated, in 1918, the Mill and Pasta Factory Benedetto Cavalieri planned with the clear intent to produce First Choice Pasta with his ‘fine and selected’ durum wheat from the sunny hills of Apulia. From that day on the motto has been: Cavalieri was also largely responsible for introducing logarithms as a computational tool in Italy through his book Directorium Generale Uranometricum. We mentioned above that his appointment to Bologna had been initially for a 3-year period. This book of logarithms was published by Cavalieri as part of his successful application to have the position extended. The tables of logarithms which he published included logarithms of trigonometric functions for use by astronomers [ 31 ]:- Also, the pasta is made using traditional techniques passed down through the generations known as the ‘delicate method. This involves long kneading, slow pressing, drawing and drying the pasta at a low temperature. As a result, the pasta retains its natural chewy texture and delicious nutty flavour. Cavalieri corresponded with many mathematicians including Galileo, Mersenne, Renieri, Rocca, Torricelli and Viviani. Torricelli was full of praise for Cavalieri's methods writing (see [ 1 ] ):-After a year in Milan, in 1616 he transferred to the Jesuati monastery in Pisa, the San Girolamo monastery, where, except for one year spent in Florence in around 1617, he remained until 1620. In Pisa, Cavalieri was taught mathematics by Benedetto Antonio Castelli, a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Pisa. Castelli had been appointed to Pisa in 1611 and had a reputation as a fine teacher, students coming from many different regions to study with him. Castelli was a Benedictine but, as there was no Benedictine monastery in Pisa, Castelli lived in the Jesuati monastery there. He taught Cavalieri geometry and introduced him to the ideas of Galileo. Cavalieri's interest in mathematics had been stimulated by Euclid's Elements and, after meeting Galileo, he considered himself a disciple of the astronomer. The meeting with Galileo was set up by Cardinal Federico Borromeo, who had corresponded with Castelli. The Cardinal himself saw clearly the genius in Cavalieri while he was at the monastery in Milan [ 12 ]:- The penne rigate are great to cook the famous Italian recipe "Penne all'Arrabiata", combine now this great product with our own BenVenuti Spicy Tomato Sauce and discover the authentic flavour of Apulia! Whilst on holiday in Salento, Puglia, I noticed some restaurant pasta dishes made with ‘orecchiette maritate’. Actually, this was a term I hadn’t heard before. I was surprised to learn that it refers to a ‘marriage’ or mix of 2 types of pasta, orecchiette and what the people in Puglia call maccheroncini.

It is since 1800 that the Cavalieri Family has been committed to the growing of wheat in purposely chosen fields in the heart of Apulia. The agricultural crisis following the unification of Italy (1861) did not ensure to the Family the customary comforts derived up to then from the cultivation of the durum wheat, hence the necessity to venture at first into the foreign trade in this particular wheat, and then in the construction of millstones that were planned for the best milling of the durum wheat. It is in 1872 that Andrea Cavalieri gave start to this commercial enterprise. In this way, Pasta Benedetto Cavalieri is characterized by high levels of quality. All this is found at the moment of tasting: the best brands of Italian pasta always offer you an excellent and authentic flavor of wheat!

If two planar pieces are included between a pair of parallel lines, and if the lengths of the two segments cut by them on any line parallel to the including lines are always equal, then the areas of the two planar pieces are also equal.

A ferreto is a thin metal rod or wire used by housewives to make pasta. Small pieces of pasta are wrapped around the rod and then slid off. This type of pasta is sometimes called ferretti. Fusilli was originally a ferretti pasta as is fileja pasta from Calabria.
