Ghilotti Bros. Inc. was founded in San Rafael, Calif., in 1914 by James Ghi-lotti, a 23-year-old Italian immigrant, who began his business by carting rocks from the hills of Marin and Sonoma counties with a horse-drawn sled and practiced his craft as a stonemason throughout the area. Today, Ghilotti Bros, is one of the largest employers of construction personnel in northern California. "James Ghilotti was my grandfather," says Ghilotti Bros. President Michael M. "Mike" Ghilotti. "He originally called his company James Ghilotti Contractor. In 1939, it became James Ghilotti and Sons, and then Ghilotti Bros. Inc. in 1950. In 2000, my brother Dante and I purchased the company from our father, Mario Ghilotti, who remained very much involved until his untimely death, November 20,2010."
