Luigi Bertagni, with his brothers Ferdinando and Oreste, not only made quality fresh tortellini, but also studied a method in order to package and conserve them, and thus Luigi developed his business.

[1][2] Thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of Bertagni brothers, their tortellini saw greater sales in Italy and abroad.

Pastificio Bertagni continued its rapid growth and by the beginning of the 20th century was a well known pasta producer.

It is the Bologna company Bertagni that holds the record of this production and sells tortellini all over the world.

"[3] In 2002, the company was sold to pasta industry veterans, resulting in a great increase in sales, carrying its filled pasta specialities onto the tables of the world.
