WHITE ITALIAN MARBLES

 Italian marbles are the ones with more long lasting history during the centuries, along with the Greek marbles. Roma Empire quarried and processed the marble from the Carrara Mountains to dress its sumptuous palaces and villas.

Now the Italian marbles come again taking the stage, and it is hugely demanded around the world for any kind of project in which the stone ought to be the breaking decoration.

Here in Spain the Italian marbles are imported in 2 ways, or in finished slabs or in blocks to be cut and processed here in our plants.

A brief tour for the available Italian marbles that you can find here in Spain, to be used in the inner market or also for export, as prices are steadier from the imposed ones by the Italian dealers. There are many types, and usually are a confusion with trade ground names, types, designs…as all of the blocks are quarried in the same area.

Carrara Marble.
