Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering the Pineapple on the Island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean in 1493.
The Pineapple was adopted by the Spanish as a symbol of hospitality. This symbol was incorporated into furniture and woodwork.
The motif eventually migrated back to the colonies of North America where it remains a symbol of hospitality and friendship
and is commonly exchanged as gifts of welcome and thank you. The Pineapple is also considered a symbol of wealth in Asian cultures.

 In some areas, sea captains home from their voyage would put a pineapple on their fencepost symbolizing a warm
welcome for friends and neighbors to come to their open house. Loffreno Real Estate Inc. welcome you to Fort Myers Beach.
