The Collection
Four Centuries of Geological Perfection
Each slab we ship carries the Apuan signature: the grey veining, the crystalline grain, the weight of history. From our quarry to your specification — polished, bookmatched, or left raw.
The Origin
The Apuan Alps: Where Geological Mastery Meets Human Craft
For over two millennia, the Apuan Alps have yielded what the world calls perfection in stone. The Romans quarried it for their temples. Michelangelo carved his David from its grain. Today, our cava continues that lineage — extracting the same geological strata that built the Pantheon and the marble squares of Versailles.
Every block we export carries a certificate of origin. You receive not just marble — you receive provenance.Request Origin Certificate
Our Portfolio
Our Marble Collection
Four varieties, endlessly configurable. Each stone is inspected, tagged, and prepared to your exact specification.
Premium Variety
Carrara Bianco Gioia
The foundational Carrara stone. Gioia is prized for its consistency — a cloudy white canvas with restrained, elegant veining. Ideal for large-surface applications where uniformity is the goal.
| Base Color | White to cloudy white |
|---|---|
| Veining | Fine to medium grey |
| Grain | Fine, crystalline |
| Water Absorption | ≤ 0.20% |
Prestige Variety
Statuario
Reserved for the world's most celebrated spaces. Statuario is not a stone — it is a statement. Its stark white background and bold grey veining command presence in any interior.
| Base Color | Bright pure white |
|---|---|
| Veining | Bold, dramatic grey |
| Grain | Medium to coarse |
| Water Absorption | ≤ 0.15% |
Distinguished Variety
Calacatta
Distinctly different from look-alike stones marketed globally. True Apuan Calacatta carries a warmth — an ivory depth — that machines cannot replicate. Ideal for bookmatched panels.
| Base Color | Warm white / ivory |
|---|---|
| Veining | Grey + warm gold |
| Grain | Medium, organic |
| Water Absorption | ≤ 0.18% |
Classic Variety
Venato
The workhorse of Italian marble — and its quietest aristocrat. Venato's linear grey veining moves across a subtle grey background like water frozen in time.
| Base Color | Light to medium grey |
|---|---|
| Veining | Linear, flowing grey |
| Grain | Fine to medium |
| Water Absorption | ≤ 0.22% |
Available in Three Formats
Format 01
Blocks (BLK)
Raw blocks, 2.4–3.0m height, variable width/length. Ideal for cutting facilities and container shipping for large volumes.
Format 02
Slabs (SLB)
Polished or honed slabs, 20–30mm, standard 300×150cm. Perfect for interior cladding, flooring, countertops.
Format 03
Cut-to-Size (CTS)
Bespoke dimensions, CNC-cut and finished. For precise architectural elements, reception desks, custom tiles.
Infrastructure
From the Apuan Face to Your Project, Without Compromise
Exporting marble is not a commodity exercise. It is a process of care — from the moment a block leaves the quarry wire to the moment it is craned into your project.
Block Selection & Inspection
Each block is inspected for structural integrity, vein pattern consistency, and dimensions before sale confirmation.
Secure Packaging
Blocks wrapped in wooden mesh, strapped into bundles, containerized in 20' or 40' HC containers with foam interleaving.
Export & Customs
We handle all Italian export documentation, EUR.1 certificates, and coordinate with freight forwarders from Marina di Carrara or La Spezia.
Delivery to Your Door
CIF or FOB terms available. You receive what you ordered, intact, at your warehouse or site.
