Set in the Italian hillside of the region of Chiampo, Italy, the “Grolla” quarry now operated by Marmi Faedo has been in existence for approximately 300 years. While the family-owned company started out in the marble business in 1947, it took over its current site more than 50 years ago.
The quarry is divided into upper and lower sections — each containing different material with varying characteristics. While stone extracted from the upper area is basalt, the lower area is limestone with deposits of sandstone scattered within.
