Our Name

Since the mid 1800’s, the Daprato Rigali name has been synonymous with the finest art in the world. For over 155 years, the dialogue between our artists and building owners has resulted in awe-inspiring pieces of art designed to enhance the architectural, liturgical, devotional, and contemplative life of thousands of buildings and their communities. Five generations of Rigalis have and continue to lead the industry, turning challenges within each project into opportunities for improving the services and products we offer. We believe that every job is a chance to build our brand, and in doing so, continue to provide the excellence our name is known for. “Our name is an absolute guarantee” – John E. Rigali, Founder.
