The artisanal confectionery of the Mucci family located in the historic center of Andria, at Via Giammarota 12, undoubtedly embodies a century of prestigious activity marked by recognitions and honors. The activity began back in 1894 with Nicola Mucci. After an apprenticeship lasting five years at the Caflish chocolate factory in Naples, he decided to open a factory producing confetti, chocolate, candies, and liquors near the Cathedral in Andria. The confectionery art was refined with the creation of the “Mandorla Imperial” for the wedding of Umberto of Savoy with Maria José and the invention of the famous “Tenerelli,” soft confetti covered by a double layer of chocolate. Today, the old shop has set up inside a museum consisting of four rooms that display to the public documents, tools, equipment, and molds for confectionery production from over a century of prestigious activity.
