SCAPPATICCI,
MARCELLO & SILVIO
Marcello and Silvio Scappaticci are 2 brothers who immigrated to the
United States from a small mountain village outside Rome Italy in the Province of
Frosinone. The unique relationship of the two brothers is that they have been able to
succeed in a million-dollar business without ANY formal education, which is usually
associated with such success. These two boys knew exactly what hard-work, dedication and a
"whole lot of common sense" can do. In 1951, Marcello, at the age of 16 years
old, left his 11year brother and family in Italy with $300.00 in his pocket, that his
mother had borrowed, took a boat to America and began his venture into the construction
business. In just 3 days he landed a job and 1 year later created Marcello Building
Company a small business that constructed garages & room additions. Living very
simply, Marcello was able to save enough money and send for his family to join him in
Michigan.

A few years later, Silvio joined his brother and Marcello Building Company became
Marcello and Silvio Building Company. Soon this small business escalated into the
development of residential apartment communities, commercial office buildings, retail
strip malls and land development sales throughout Western Wayne Michigan. The Scappaticci
Brothers value "Honesty and Fairness" and this has been inevitably present in
their 40 years of business, not only to their customers but between themselves.
This belief HAS TRULY been their essence of success. Marcello and Silvio have
been recognized throughout their communities belonging to the Builders Association of
Michigan, Small Business Association of Michigan, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Better Business
Bureau, as well as co-chairing and sponsoring many events throughout Michigan with Angela
Hospice, The Italian Club of Livonia, & the National Italian American Federation, and
many other humanitarian and educational events.
