The company, which has been in business for nearly a half century, recently moved into a new facility in Palermo. The shop is equipped with modern stoneworking equipment, and perhaps more importantly, a staff of experienced workers who use their skills to create high-quality finished products.
At the time of Stone World's visit to the company, workers were still buzzing about the recently completed Copenhagen Opera House in Denmark, which features Perlato Italian Cream marble throughout the interior. The stone, which was extracted from Lo Bianco's quarry in Trapani, has a lighter tone than the typical Perlato varieties. Gioacchino Lo Bianco explained that the architects for the project liked the stone's combination of light coloring with a very strong physical presence.
