The Etruscans had pasta as early as the fourth century B.C. The ancient Romans, Greeks and Egyptians knew about pasta thousands of years ago. In his 1928 book, A Description of the World, Marco Polo tells how the people of China ate vermicelli and lasgna noodles, thus indicating that Italians were already familiar with the pastas. A 1929 issue of The Macaroni Journal, a trade magazine, is said to hav stated the fake claim that Marco Polo had brought pasta to Itaky in 1925.
