ABOUT US
Pennsylvania, where she spent weekends in the country on
family farms and her teenage years living on a working
poultry operation. Caring for livestock, flower and vegetable
gardening and yard work were all part of life for her family.
Strong work ethic, a characteristic instilled at a young age by
entrepreneurial parents, hard working grandparents & great
grandparents, is a trait Lisa is extremely grateful for. As is a
penchant for rolling up her sleeves, digging in and getting
her hands dirty. The "hands on" tactile nature of her work in
the tile industry is well suited to Lisa.

Depending on what you're driving, how fast you're driving it and how daring you are on the cliff-side
curves, it's an hour (or two) south of Naples.
Some day, we'll host Italian road trips with small groups of our adventurous clients...no reservations!

upbringing and fluency in the Italian language that would be useful
in an American industry heavily influenced by the tradition of Italian

Intrigued with all things creative, nature and animals, especially horses, Lisa filled her youth with
Saturday morning art classes at the York Academy of Art and riding her pony. Outdoor activity and
creative projects still feature heavily in her life's work and ambition.

Lisa's primary role in the company is design, marketing and sales. For clients, she designs tiled
spaces; floors, mosaics, bathrooms, entries, kitchens, back-splashes and outdoor areas. Of
special interest to Lisa, is designing tile installations that make use of simple details to add visual
interest and create a custom finished result. Effectively using different shapes and sizes of field
tile keeps the cost of materials lower without sacrifice of a pleasing design. These kinds of
projects, with their edited simplicity and resourceful use of materials, are the most rewarding to
her. All marketing design is done in-house. Lisa builds and manages the company's web sites,
newsletters and communications. She writes tile and green building related articles.

During that particular visit to Naples a few years ago, Anthony and Lisa were accompanied by
Lisa's father. It was his first return to the city since 1958 when he was based there while on active
duty in the U.S. Navy. We went in search of a small villa he rented with other sailors while he
lived there. It clings to the side of the hill, overlooking the city and the bay of Naples. We found
it, still a rental property and looking much the same, 50 years later.

In fact, he believes the majolica tile in the company's
logo inspired him as a boy and ultimately influenced
his decision to pursue a career in ceramic tile. The
13th century Gothic cathedral where he served as alter
boy, features a tiled garden that inspired him to
pursue a career in ceramic tile. To read the interesting

Anthony Bogo moved to the United States from Naples Italy when he
was 15 years old. Eighteen months after arriving in Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania, he joined the U.S. Navy and took his oath of citizenship
just before he boarded the U.S.S. Robert Lee Wilson, DD 847. As a
radioman, his first Med cruise returned him to Naples. In addition to
regular responsibilities, he was tasked with translation and various
special projects where his Italian language skills and knowledge of the
local dialect were instrumental. After serving in the U.S. Navy, as a
college student in Pennsylvania, he began work as an independent
floor covering contractor to pay for his education. He mastered all
types of flooring, then focused on ceramic tile; a flooring industry
niche that turned out to be well suited to his background.
