Angelo Vitantonio
The History of VillaWare®
The VillaWare® brand has a long heritage of Italian workmanship and culinary expertise.
Our perfectionism and passion for craft in cuisine is over a century old, but continues
to shape every VillaWare® product and the dishes they help to create.
Established in 1906 by Angelo Vitantonio, our roots lie in Italy, famous for its
organic and fresh ingredients, and its distinctive gastronomy. When Angelo emigrated
to the United States, he took his passion for food and cooking with him, and
So it was in his Little Italy community that Angelo first created the hand crank
pasta machine that would revolutionise so many Italian households. His inspiration,
dedication to craft, and entrepreneurial vision led him to establish a family business
that would thrive across four generations, and expand to generate a wide range of
high-quality appliances and cookware under the name ‘VillaWare®’.
The VillaWare® brand continues to create outstanding products that remain true to
their founder’s vision, and our passion are a continuing presence in the finest
kitchens across the globe. It’s the same spirit of innovation and commitment to
excellence that inspired Angelo Vitantonio, continues to inspire our dedicated design
team today.
