Bianco Michelangelo 

(Carrara)

The Latin word marmor signifies, “crystalline rock” and it’s the quality of this material that has captivated artists and aesthetes over the centuries. Italian par excellence, Michelangelo marble is universally known as the marble originating from Carrara; it is named after Michelangelo Buonarroti, who in the Tuscan quarries specifically the one of Altissimo, undertook his quest for the perfect marble. The pure white colour, barely veined, almost smudged and its fine grain, make it the “king” of all marbles, the undisputed hero in the history of art and contemporary design.

Bianco Statuario 

(Carrara)

A valuable material favoured and used by sculptors for its sparkle and the purity and compactness of its structure, which make it the best marble for modelling. The crystalline, white ivory colour has grey veins; and its limited production makes it even more sought after.

Bianco Gioia 

(Carrara)

Bianco Gioia is a valuable marble quarried in Italy, in the Apuan Alps, characterised by a pure white colour, blurred by peculiar grey veins, that shade for grey to dark grey. A classic and sophisticated marble, but exquisitely eye catching at the same time.

Bianco Carrara 

(Carrara)

One of the clearest marbles with a low rate of impurities. Its ancient formation dates back to almost 200 million years ago, when northern Tuscany was completely submerged by sea, on the bottom of which, deposits of limestone sediment enabled the formation of this wonderful white marble characterised by a base paste of homogeneous, sparkling grains. Its distinctive colour is white with grey, nuanced veining appearing in irregular patterns.

Bianco Arabescato 

(Carrara)

All-Italian and from Carrara, Bianco Arabescato marble has such a strong personality that it is in great demand for accessories, ornaments and luxe design features. The pure white, crystalline colour and the light grey veining are its trademark. It is similar to veined marble, but differentiates itself for the lightness of the veining, with merely a hint of cloudy grey; a dreamlike marble.

Calacatta Oro

(Carrara)

Valuable and in great demand, Calacatta marble symbolises the most refined product of the Apuan Alps. The clear, white background with distinctive gold veining, confer less formality than marble usually exudes, making it warm and welcoming. Ornate and functional this marble is sensual, expressive and imbued with elegance, like the ancient land that created it.

Calacatta Oro Vagli

(Carrara)

A magnificent product of the Apuan Alps. It shares its origins with Carrara marble, but differs from it thanks to its ivory/butter colour and the presence of considerable veins that range from gold to every shade of brown, green and grey. One of the best applications of this marble is the Vatican’s Paul VI Audience Hall, designed by architect Pier Luigi Nervi and commissioned by Pope Paul VI in 1971. Nervi created the famous vault of the auditorium, comprising 42 parabolic arches, 70 metres of light and a special mix of valuable, reinforced concrete made with white cement and Calacatta Vagli marble dust.

Fior di Pesco Carnico

(Northern Est of Italy)

A decidedly Italian marble, highly prized by architects and interior designers, which can be admired in one of its best applications in Florence’s Palazzina Reale of Santa Maria Novella, next to the train station. A magnificent product of the Carnic Alps and the Dolomites, this marble exhibits light hues that range from white to grey and light green, with ivory, grey and rose-coloured veins.

Travertino

(Lazio-Italy)

An ancient marble with a place in history and architecture: it has been quarried ever since Etruscan times in Tuscany, near Siena, and in Lazio. A sedimentary calcareous rock, Travertino is compact and both malleable and resistant, making it an ideal building material; it is also used to make accessories. Another feature is the variety of colours which, depending on the oxides contained, range from white to walnut travertine, from yellow to red. This makes it the perfect choice to be combined with other materials, to tell lots of stories of elegance and culture, of an everlasting material that classicism taught us to love and to regard as the foundation of an undying ideal of beauty.

Travertino Navona

(Lazio-Italy)

An elegant precious stone, extracted in Italy, characterized by dark smooth

Rome. A resistant stone, that lasts over time.

(Tuscany-Italy)

Giallo Siena marble is a natural stone typical of the Sienese mountains. Known and worked since ancient times both as siding and in the production of accessories and jewellery, today it is one of the most sought-after marbles.

The opaque background features narrow veins interspersed with white or ivory bands, and pale greyish veins – peculiarities that make the material original and one of a kind. A hypnotic, elegant marble that recalls romantic interiors, Sunday dinner tables and precious objects; a marble that has made history in the decorations and sidings of churches and monuments where we glimpse the transcendent also thanks to the beauty and elegance of the materials.

Blu Sodalite

(Colombia)

“The deeper the blue, the more it draws man into infinity, arousing his yearning for purity and, ultimately, transcendence.

Blu Sodalite marble is mainly extracted from quarries in Namibia, Bolivia and Brazil, corresponding to different degrees of purity in raw material, with the purest, rarest and most valuable hailing from Brazil.

When it is cross cut, on the other hand, it reveals astonishing hues. Its deep brown colour, warmth and elegance make this marble one of a kind. Mainly quarried in Canada, it is as exquisite as the women painted by Boldini – ethereal and chic, fashionable yet elusive.

Arabescato Vagli Filo Rosso

Typical of the Apuan Alps, this marble owes its name to the place it is quarried (Vagli, in the province of Lucca) and still tells much of Italian art history and more: indeed, it is commonly used to build churches (such as St Peter’s Basilica in Rome) and in panelling, floorings and sculptures.
