Barilla Spa is one of the major Italianfood companies. It was founded in 1877 in Parma, Italy. It controls Barilla, Mulino Bianco, Pavesi, Voiello and Academia Barilla (Italy), Wasa (Sweden), Misko (Greece), Filiz (Turkey), Yemina and Vesta (Mexico) trade marks; furthermore it produces several kinds of pasta. 1877 (MDCCCLXXVII) was a common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ... Parma is a medieval city in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, with splendid architecture and a fine countryside around it. ... Pasta is a type of food made from flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which is mixed, kneaded and formed into various shapes, and boiled prior to consumption. ...
From the outset, all students are told that Barilla was born into a large farming family in Roxbury, Maine on June 29, 1828, and that she left home in October, 1843 for work in Lowells Hamilton Mills.
While Barillas precise motivations for going to Lowell are not clear, the letters, receipts, poems and other belongings found in her family Bible and passed through generations of the Taylor family offer clues.
While Barilla may have been dissatisfied with mill life, it seems more likely that her solution to the dilemma was to escape, rather than reform factory life.
