There are almost as many people from his hometown living in Toronto as there are back in Italy.

Johnny from Spiver Canada and Decorative Plaster was born in Toronto after his parents tried their luck in Canada. His dad was in the trades too, a tile setter working in marble, porcelain and ceramic.

By the early 1970s his father had opened his own tile store in the city. The trade runs in the family.

Born in Canada, raised in Italy, back in Toronto at 17 with two days' notice.

His uncle offered him a flight, a place to stay and work. His dad's answer: "What are you waiting for?" Johnny from Spiver Canada and Decorative Plaster landed that Thursday and remembers being amazed by the lanes on the 401.

It never felt like starting over. At 17 he was continuing, straight into his uncle's painting business.

The man who put a trowel in Johnny's hand: Don Antonio.

Before him, Johnny of Spiver Canada was the one fetching tools and materials. Don Antonio was the first to say "here's the trowel, show me," and took the time to teach him how to use it. That is what it means to be lime burned.

He was a well respected builder in his community, and when Johnny left for Canada he told him there would always be work waiting if he came back.

At 14, Johnny of Spiver Canada was already on a job site in Italy.

He started as a laborer carrying mortar, blocks and bricks for an old school builder who took a house from the foundations all the way to the finished interior. That builder put a trowel in his hand. Johnny learned to plumb walls with mortar points, fill them with a lime plaster made with live lime, and pull it flat with a straight edge.

The lesson he still carries: the value of starting something and finishing it yourself.

New video out now: Johnny of Spiver Canada on the Cold Joint Podcast

The full interview is live on the Lime Burned YouTube channel. Johnny started in construction in Italy at 14, found decorative plaster along the way, opened his showroom in Canada in 2020, trained with Spiver Italy and now distributes Spiver across Canada.

This is also the launch of the Cold Joint Podcast, a new extension of Lime Burned made to give artisans everywhere a seat at the table to share their craft, their knowledge and their story.

Made in collaboration with Spiver Canada.
