Quick Overview

A nice package with all our most wanted praline each one represents one of the seven deadly sins.

Sulmona, in the heart of the mountain, has ancient origins and a past in which legend and reality merge, creating around this beautiful town a magical aura of mystery. "Sulmo mihi patria est": this is what the great poet Publius Ovidius Naso, who was born in this land in 43 BC, author of among other famous Ars Amandi, the most famous Latin erotic poetry. It is no coincidence Sulmona has become world famous for its confetti, which have always been irreplaceable symbol greeting on the occasion in which young couples swear eternal love.
The history of the sweet is ancient: you already have news in the pre-and it seems that many Romans, including the emperor Tiberius, they were fond. Originally the sweets were made by mixing almonds, flour and honey. With the same ingredients, except honey - that was replaced by sugar hitherto unknown - they took the form today and everyone is seeking.

Pelino Museum of Comfit Art and Technology at Sulmona:

Area of the Fabric of Confetti Pelino is now dedicated to the exhibition of machinery, memorabilia, souvenirs, rare and precious objects associated with the ancient art of the production of Sulmona confetti. The museum, designed by Olindo Pelino, will stand as a dutiful act of recognition of the Fabric of Confetti Pelino against all ancient Confectioners (not just the family Pelino) that from the late Middle Ages onwards have contributed to the fame of Sulmona as City of confetti.
Pelino preserved in the museum are in fact all the diplomas obtained in major world exhibitions to date from 800; patents registered by Pelino confetti factory in several European countries and in very distant, the first phone in Sulmona, statues and portraits of ancestors; a collection of vintage wedding favors.
In another room we can find the reconstruction of an eighteenth-century laboratory for the production of pralines; strunenti old auxiliary, as the mills, a toaster, a threader, mortars, pots with old ingredients, multiple strainers for the sugar syrup ( used in the preparation of sweetmeats to brown), a peeler, a machine for polishing, etc..).
And 'well-documented, then the shift occurred during the first 800 and tied to the energy of steam and then, from 1893 or so, electricity (the first electric motor, the first coil, hot air etc.).
The prints, reproductions and explanatory tables help the visitor understand what it has meant to the industry of Sulmona confetti and especially to resume this activity with the glorious past..
