Buitoni
Italian food company
Buitoni (Italian pronunciation: [buiˈtoːni]) is an Italian food company based in Sansepolcro. It was founded in 1827. They are known for their factory-produced products of pasta and sauces.
In 1985, the Buitoni family sold the company to Carlo De Benedetti; in 1988, it was acquired by Nestlé. The brand appeared as the shirt sponsor of the football team Napoli from 1985 to 1988 and is associated with the era of the legendary player Diego Maradona. In 2017, Nestlé began a brand reorganization and licensed a variety of Buitoni frozen ready meals in Italy to Frosta AG of Bremerhaven, Germany.

Why this record matters
“Buitoni” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Buitoni, Italian and food provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1003155. VIAF identifies the subject as 148948999. The Library of Congress control number is n82126766. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1827, 1985, 1988 and 2017.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
