400 years ago, the Ludovisi family of Rome, Italy began producing expertly crafted clay roof tiles. By the late 1800’s, their descendant, Carl Ludowici, used this unique form of old-world craftsmanship in a roof tile factory of his own based in Chicago, Illinois. The popularity of his products led to the expansion of several factories, until Ludowici was eventually consolidated into a single facility in New Lexington, Ohio. All Ludowici terra cotta products have been proudly manufactured in the USA for over 130 years.
