At that time, pasta was sold in bulk and unbranded. To grow the business, the Cartier-Millon family decided to focus on branding and packaging. In 1910, they had to build a new factory. In 1911, following a poster competition won by the illustrator Synave, the light and dark blue checkerboard pattern was born.

The café "Baratti & Milano" in Turin was founded by the confectioners Ferdinando Baratti and Edoardo Milano. It is a symbol of intellectual life in this city during the 19th century. Established in 1875 before the unification of Italy, it became one of the most famous chocolate and confectionery houses in the world. It would become the official supplier to the royal House of Savoy.
