LA RUSTICHELLA . THE WORLD OF SERGIO

ABOUT US

1948

The world of Sergio

Truffle culture

In 1948, Sergio Brugnoli, founder of La Rustichella, was born in Norcia (Umbria), one of the most symbolic places for truffle gathering.
His charismatic and authentic personality, his professional skills characterised by a combination of creativity and seriousness, and his love for different cultures, immediately form the basis of an entrepreneurial spirit with a revolutionary vision that, over the years, will enable him to earn the nickname 'showman with a big heart'.
His approach to life made up of passion, respect for the land and loyalty to tradition, materialised in a dream: to create the best trufflepaté in the world.
In this life and work project, Sergio is joined by Maria Marsili, whom he married in 1976.

1980

First experiments

Choosing truffles

Before setting up La Rustichella, Sergio and Maria took their first steps into the business world, working with products different from those that would later characterise their company. The turning point came with their first trips abroad, in particular with a significant experience in America, where the couple discovered the interest and curiosity of foreigners for authentic Italian products. It is in this context that the name "La Rustichella" matures, evocative of a simple, genuine reality, and deeply tied to the land, just like the vegetables in oil that initially characterised their production.

1986

La Rustichella

Birth of a dream

The Brugnoli couple, driven by the desire to create something completely their own and a passion for 'Made in Italy', founded La Rustichella. An adventure that began with the desire to bring a higher level of quality abroad, not only in terms of the product but also of the service related to the marketing of truffles, an ingredient that has always been present in their lives and family traditions. The company was born from the desire to go beyond the limits, to explore new horizons beyond their families of origin, while maintaining a strong bond with the land and their roots.

2008

Between tradition and innovation

Solid foundations for the company's future

Starting with few means but full of ideas, Sergio began his journey into the world of truffles, quickly expanding the company beyond national borders. His dedication to this product is evident in every aspect of the business, from the sale of fresh truffles to the production of creams. Each product reflects a commitment to quality, tradition and innovation, through the exclusive use of natural ingredients and processes that preserve authenticity.
La Rustichella represents a unique combination of tradition and innovation in the culinary industry. Sergio has turned his dream into a business reality, creating a link between Italian culinary roots and the demands of global markets.
