An awards ceremony was held on the first day of Marmomac in Verona, Italy, to present Rugo Stone of Lorton, VA, with the Grande Pinnacle Award of Excellence for the Trinity Church Wall Street Altar & Chancel Restoration in New York, NY.

The Pinnacle Awards competition is open to natural stone professionals from around the world and are presented to projects whose beauty, creativity, ingenuity and craftsmanship exemplify professional mastery in the use of natural stone in commercial and residential applications.

Adding to a slew of awards, Neolith's marble-inspired design, Calacatta, recently took home the 2016 Bronze A’ Design award and the 2016 Architizer A+ Popular Choice award.

The forum area in Hall One at Marmomacc 2016 will be home, over two intense days of "casting" (September 30 and October 1), to many architecture studios who will take the challenge of building with stone.
