The Artribune website has published an article dedicated to the project by Stefano Boeri Architetti for the expansion of Mancini Pastificio Agricolo, completed and presented in July 2026.
In the municipality of Monte San Pietrangeli, in the hills of the Fermo area, the firm has completed the third expansion of the headquarters, developed in a place where agriculture and architecture coincide: a pasta factory immersed in wheat fields, where the entire supply chain, from cultivation to processing, takes place on the same site, following the rhythms of the seasons rather than industrial ones.
The intervention was conceived in dialogue with the existing building, a semi-underground facility from 2010 transformed in 2017 by architect Ernesto Paoletti. The new project takes the form of an addition to this structure, covering an area of approximately 4,710 square meters and responding to the company’s new production and logistics needs: it houses pasta packaging, automated storage, and loading/unloading areas, as well as new offices and a shop on the first floor. Alongside this expansion comes a shift in paradigm: from a linear sequence of functional spaces to a settlement principle organized around a central open space. The new volumes are set into the hillside, rotating in relation to the existing building to adapt to the natural slope, reducing the visual impact on the agricultural landscape and optimizing production flows.
