CURIOSITY: The curious denomination is a recognition of Nazareno Strampelli, creator of the revolutionary grain, to the Marquis Raffaele Cappelli who allowed him to use a farm in Northern Puglia in which to plant the new seeds for experimental purposes. When in 1923 the geneticist selected the definitive variety of the new and revolutionary Cappelli wheat he had become a senator of the Kingdom of Italy, so he was introduced to the market under the name of Senatore Cappelli.
