Few people have truly discovered the secret to "La Dolce Vita" (the sweet life) like Anthony M. Rizzo Sr., founder of The Rizzo Companies who truly lives the sweet life. His secret? He lives by three simple rules:

1.

Provide the client with honest service, quality production and reasonable prices;
2.

Run a family business by the values of respect, honor, integrity;
3.

Value the client and show our appreciation by giving back to the community that supports your business and your customers' businesses.

The American dream is embodied in the history of the Rizzo Companies. Anthony Rizzo Sr. was born in Italy just a month after his father's death. Without the ability to speak a word of English, Anthony Sr. was sent to the United States at the age of twelve to live with his relatives. Hard work and intense determination brought significant rewards. Four years after he was graduated from Henry Abbott Tech, Anthony Sr. and his wife Joan founded A.M. Rizzo Electrical Contractors Inc., providing electrical construction services to business and government entities in Connecticut. Over 40 years later, The Rizzo Companies handle industrial, commercial and municipal construction contracts, multiple real estate holdings and construction management through the various companies, throughout Connecticut and New York. All of this is managed and developed now by a second generation of Rizzos, making the Rizzo Companies one of the few Danbury area businesses truly family owned and operated. Today, Anthony Rizzo Jr oversees the daily operation of the Rizzo Corporation.

This is indicative of the family qualities that make Rizzo Companies such a valuable alternative in contracting. Respect, integrity and personal service, qualities often missing in the business, are essential in maintaining not only family structure, but a business of which the Rizzo family can be proud. This ideal makes each customer - whether the account is for $50,000 or $50,000,000 - part of the family. This means that each time Rizzo accepts a contract, that customer is treated with honor, respect and integrity.

By maintaining these values, Anthony Rizzo Sr. and his family have built a business that truly delivers "Service with Peace of Mind".
