With the Ministerial Decree of March 11, 2025, Pinsa Romana has been officially included in the list of Traditional Agri-Food Products (PAT) of the region of Lazio. For the Di Marco company, this milestone is much more than a mere certification: it is the acknowledgment of an identity-driven cultural and entrepreneurial journey that began 24 years ago and that has revolutionized the world of modern baking.
Corrado Di Marco, the inventor of Pinsa Romana, is the man who transformed a revolutionary intuition into a new product that is now recognized and appreciated worldwide. It is thanks to him, in fact, that Pinsa Romana came into being: a unique product, the result of study, research and passion. It was in 2001, in a small laboratory on the outskirts of Rome, that Di Marco combined technical expertise, a deep baking culture and an innovative spirit to create a completely new dough, light, digestible, and fragrant. And thus, Pinsa Romana was born: a radical idea, ahead of its time, that won over chefs, pizza makers, and consumers across every continent within just a few years.
Today, more than twenty years after its invention, the Ministry of Agriculture officially recognizes this product as an expression of Italy’s cultural and gastronomic heritage, including it among Lazio’s PATs, in accordance with Ministerial Decree 350/1999.
Pinsa is now officially counted among Italy’s traditional agricultural food products, which reflect not only the creativity, ingenuity, and socio-economic evolution of Italy’s local communities, but also the traditions and culture of its regions.
Pinsa Romana, with its historical roots reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, fully embodies these values.
This recognition reaffirms the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence, research, and the promotion of Italy’s food heritage, in constant dialogue with innovation and sustainability.
“The inclusion of Pinsa Romana among the PATs is not the finish line for us, but a new starting point that drives us to continue proudly safeguarding the identity of a product that is today, more than ever, a symbol of tradition, creativity and Italian spirit” said Alberto Di Marco, CEO of the company. “This recognition makes us really proud and, at the same time, it is a lasting tribute to the Corrado Di Marco’s pioneering vision and to his ability to reinterpret tradition with an eye to the future, creating a truly original product that is now imitated by operators around the world, yet born from an authentic Italian idea.”
Pinsa Romana is not just a product: it is an invention. A symbol of how traditional craftsmanship can meet innovation to create excellence.
