Pasta is celebrated in all its fascinating glory at this wonderfully straight-faced museum. It's the only museum in the world dedicated to more than two millennia of pasta and it takes its responsibilities seriously - there are exhibitions explaining the production process, the differences between various pastas and how best to cook them. A highlight is the Neapolitan Room, with its photos of film stars tucking into plateloads of the stuff.
