The company is named after the blooming activity of the silkworm breeding which was very intense in Città Sant’Angelo towards the end of the nineteenth-century and at the early beginning of the twentieth. The Bigattini are actually little worms used as bait by the fishermen. From here on the little silkworms were named this way and the company therefore was called “Bigattiera” by all the inhabitants of the “Contrada”. Besides all these linguistic curiosities, the Bigattiera has furthermore a worthy and full of history past, moreover improved by ancient rural fantasies as well as by its striking architectural structure, dating back to some centuries. Subsequent buildings has allowed it to extend little by little and to become the now existing harmonious complex. The present owner is a descendant of the family who purchased the unit at the beginning of the XIX century.
