The company´s origin was in the Salesiano school construction in Priego de Córdoba city (the actual secondary education high school). When the works finished, D. Antonio Altarejos García, its promoter, encouraged Antonio Ruiz-Ruano to start a business on their own.

He suggested that the company that Antonio created was called Santo Domingo. Domingo was a boy that was born in 1842 and was a Don Juan Bosco disciple and inspiration to found the Salesiana Congregation.

In distinction to the Mr. Antonio Altarejos help given, in the company´s origin and his porpoise of use Santo Domingo as a conductive element with the salesian essence, we wanted to dedicate some explanatory paragraphs, talking about its origin, the work in the world of education, values, principles,thinkings.

There are more than 16,092 salesians in the world.

The salesians pedagogy. San Juan Bosco was an exceptional educator. His acute intelligence, his common sense and deep spirituality bring him to create an educative system that converted the complete person (body, mind, heart)

The salesian education, telling for the own congregation, favors the increase and the freedom, putting the youth in the centre of their educative work.

To distinguish its method than the represive educative system dominat in XIX century in Italy, the salesians recover the self-steem,   trying to prevent the punishment, putting the kids in an atmosphere animating them to give the best. It´s a friendly and integral education approach. It create an environment where the educator delimit the best for the kids, animating to the complete expresion of themselves, helping the kids to get actitudes to choose what is good, healthy, funny and that make them belive in life.
