Who we are
A Legacy in Construction Since the Late 1800s
Our story begins more than a century ago, when Mr. Federico’s four great-grandfathers, each trained in Italy and masters of their craft, immigrated to America in search of a better life. With calloused hands, a relentless work ethic, and unwavering pride, they helped shape the physical and cultural foundation of their new home. They didn’t just build structures, they built a legacy.
Gerardo Cugini
Master Stone Mason
Built enduring foundations, elegant stone walls, fireplaces, and porches that combined strength with beauty and stood the test of time.
Rico Federico
Railroad Construction Laborer
Helped lay the backbone of America’s early railways, connecting towns and cities through grueling work that instilled endurance and perseverance.
Luigi Franchi
Skilled Bricklayer
Shaped neighborhoods brick by brick, building homes, churches, and community landmarks that brought permanence and character to everyday life.
Francesco Di Duca
General Construction Laborer
Embodied grit and dignity through long hours and heavy loads, proving that even the most humble roles are essential in building something that lasts.
This tradition of craftsmanship, resilience, and purpose was carried forward by Tony Franchi Sr., son of Luigi Franchi, who became one of Massachusetts’ most respected contractors and developers. Throughout his career, Tony transformed hundreds of apartments, homes, schools, college dormitories, high schools, federal buildings, and more, expanding the family’s legacy of quality, reliability, and vision across generations.
Mr. Federico proudly carries forward his family’s legacy as a distinguished professional in real estate and construction, combining rigorous academic training with hands-on experience. He brings technical expertise and strong leadership to every project, grounded in a solid academic foundation. As a graduate of Boston College, he carries forward the Jesuit principle of being “men and women for others,” a philosophy that continues to guide his commitment to service and community. He later went on to pursue a Master of Science in Construction Management from Wentworth Institute of Technology and completed a Real Estate Development Certificate through Cornell University’s SC Johnson College of Business. In addition, he is a fully licensed contractor, holding an unrestricted Construction Supervisor License and a Home Improvement Contractor license.
While his education began in the classroom, Mr. Federico’s most formative lessons were learned in the field under the guidance of his grandfather, Tony Franchi Sr. At his side, he mastered every aspect of the business and absorbed the values, discipline, precision, and integrity that defined his grandfather’s life’s work.
Today, Federico Management carries this legacy forward into a new generation. Our mission remains unchanged from the days when four Italian immigrants first picked up their tools, to build with purpose, manage with care, and deliver with integrity, serving our clients and strengthening our communities for generations to come.
