History |
Craig Pedroni, president of Pedroni's Cast Stone and Precast Solutions, has a family heritage of artisans. His grandfather, Andrew Frank Pedroni, immigrated to the United States in 1910, after receiving his training from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Carrera, Italy, majoring in sculpture and modeling, and doing advanced work in marble and granite stone cutting. In the 1920's, Andrew Frank Pedroni began working as a sculptor in the Jacksonville area and soon after World War II ended, Andrew Frank Pedroni and his sons, Frank and Chris, formed Southern Ornamental Cast Stone Works in Jacksonville, Florida by purchasing Jacksonville Concrete Products.
Southern Ornamental furnished precast products for many high-end homes, federal buildings, churches, and state universities throughout Florida and was one of the first precasters to begin experimenting with colored cast stone. Craig's father, Frank Pedroni, was one of the founding members of the Architectural Precast Association (APA) and assisted in developing the industry's Specifications.
