The story begins in 1393, in the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, where the Tornabene family—known as the Barones—first rose to prominence. They weren’t just nobility by title; they were master craftsmen whose work stood as monuments to their skill.
For generations, the Tornabene name graced the finest structures across the Mediterranean. They built cathedrals that touched the heavens, abbeys that sheltered the faithful, gates that protected cities, and fortifications crafted from stone and timber that have withstood the test of centuries.
When the Tornabene family crossed the Atlantic, they brought more than hopes and dreams—they carried 600 years of building expertise in their hands and hearts. The same techniques that once built Mediterranean palaces now protect American homes.
In St. Louis, the tradition continues. The same bloodline that constructed abbeys and fortresses now builds roofs that stand as armor against the storm. Every shingle laid, every metal panel fastened, carries the weight of centuries of excellence.
Today, Anvil Roofing Co. stands as the modern embodiment of this ancient legacy. The anvil—symbol of the forge, of transformation, of unyielding strength—represents our commitment to craftsmanship that endures.
When you choose Anvil Roofing, you’re not just getting a roof. You’re getting six centuries of building excellence, the dedication of master craftsmen, and the promise of protection that has been proven through generations.
