The Rana pasta factory, official partner of the Giro d'Italia 2021 and launches for the occasion the special limited edition “Rana – Tour of Italy". A range of fresh filled pasta, composed from four regional recipes all dressed in pink, like the historic jersey, to celebrate the partnership with the most legendary cycling race in our country. And how the athletes will cross Italy on their bicycles, so Rana will travel it from north to south, cooking in the kitchen, from tradition to tradition, from dialect to dialect, with four stages with a unique taste. The project, which combines a perfect combination of sporting spirit and taste, was born from Rana's strong bond with the Italian territory and from the sharing of values that unite the Pastificio and the very popular event. An encounter between two Italian excellences under the banner of great love for Italy.
“My passion for cycling has deep roots. It is a sport that I usually practice and that I have always had in my heart, so much so that he was CEO of the World Cycling Championships organized in Verona in 2004 "declares Gian Luca Rana, CEO of the Pastificio Rana. "It is therefore a source of great joy and pride for me to be the official pasta of the Giro d’Italia 2021 and thus accompany one of the most glorious competitions in our country. The Giro tells a beautiful Italian story that connects generations, just like ours. I commit, sacrifice, energia, courage and team spirit: principles that make this sport in which I reflect myself unique and that have always guided me as an entrepreneur and captain of a team of 3.500 people."
The Giro d'Italia at the table: the four stages of taste
With the new line “Rana – Giro d'Italia” Pastificio Rana pays homage to four wonderful regions, three of which are crossed by the cycling event 2021, inspired by the stories, from the gastronomy and the accents that characterize them. A tribute that Rana does in its own unique style, putting his hands in the dough and focusing on the ingredients that distinguish it: creativeness, quality and innovation. Nasce cosìun’edizione limitata, available from now until September 2021, which he brings to the tablefour traditional Italian recipes wrapped in a casket of thin fresh pasta, a real dish on a plate!
From creamed cod to the standard, from ossobuco and risotto with saffron to carbonara, Rana makes a journey through the flavors of Italy, inspired by the great variety that characterizes our country: a wealth of tastes, culture and dialects that make every corner unrepeatable. The stages of this culinary journey are interpreted in a new and original key by the Pastificio and give life to unprecedented expressions of taste for a gastronomic Tour of Italy which, thanks to four generous fillings, crosses and joins the whole boot.
• Ravioli stuffed with creamed cod: Rana evokes the cosmopolitan vocation of Venetian sailors with a dish full of flavor and history based on stockfish, met during their travels in the North Seas. The ancient recipe is thus transformed into a soft and delicious filling, contained in an exquisite square-shaped ravioli.• Ravioli stuffed with Ossobuco and Saffron Risotto: the taste doubles with a tribute to two exceptional Lombard specialities. Two distinct fillings, from which a harmonious encounter is born made of two different ravioli present in the same package, characterized by two sheets and two flavours. The intense note of the ossobuco thus combines with the velvety texture of the saffron risotto for an experience to be shared.
• Ravioli with carbonara filling: iconic dish of Lazio, Carbonara needs no introduction and inspired Rana to create a creamy heart with a strong and unmistakable taste, kept inside delicious crescents of fresh pasta.• Ravioli with Norma filling: a land rich in history and with a wonderful cuisine, Sicily is the birthplace of a famous recipe that brings together all the flavors of the Mediterranean: the rule. From tomato to aubergine, the ingredients are enclosed in a square-shaped pastry that will captivate all the senses. Regional novelties, in packs of 250g, will be available in the refrigerated counter at a recommended price of € 3,99.
The solidarity campaign: Frog next to those in need

TheIn fact, Pastificio continues its commitment to the fight against povertyand wants to embrace ideally, of the nord sud, all those who find themselves in difficulty through a very concrete solidarity initiative.
Renewing the collaboration with Banco Alimentare, with which the Veronese company has been cooperating for years, Rana chooses to be close to those who cannot afford a meal, to continue to bring a moment of serenity right where it is most needed.For each package purchased of ravioli “Rana – Giro d'Italia” in fact the Pastificio will donate a fresh Giovanni Rana product to Banco Alimentare, which thanks to 2.000 volunteers and 8.000 charitable structures are responsible for distributing foodstuffs throughout Italy. An important gesture of solidarity to bring tangible help in this period marked by the pandemic and the consequent growth of poverty that is occurring.
“I have always been strongly convinced of the role of responsibility that companies must have within society, especially in times like these” dichiaraGian Luca Rana.“The difficult economic situation we are experiencing requires the ability to see, commitment and constancy to be able to create and give value not only to its employees but also to the community as a whole. It is with this spirit that I wanted to carry out this new project precisely to renew closeness and solidarity with the weakest people."
