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