Mario Favilli Bandechi was founder of Ladrilleria Favilli, an Italian immigrant originally from Pisa, came to Nicaragua with the intention of following his dreams and his love for arquitecture and design. Ladrilleria Favilli opened its doors in the beautiful colonial city of Granada, Nicaragua in 1905, and has remained in the same location since then. The same Italian crafted machines are shipped
nearly 100 years ago and still function to the day. Ladrilleria Favilli still maintains the great majority of its original designs which are imitated but not equaled by other local companies. We encourage you to drop by the Fabrica and take our tour, to get a firsthand view as how our beautiful tiles are created. Our workers, some 3rd generation tile-makers, will demonstrate the different techniques and artistry that goes into Favilli tiles.
