Natural stone is a living material.

Those of us who work with it every

day are aware of this: it's never the

same, which is why it's capable

of offering new emotions every

day. We never tire of gazing at a

wonderful marble wall, with its

spectacular and unique veins. With

the added value that no surface will

ever be the same as another

Natural stone is therefore a

premise for unique creations

because its nature is unique We can

see this in this issue which tells us

Massimiliano Destri

Sole Administrator of Marmi Lanza

about the timeless appeal of marble.

A cornerstone around which the

most current trends in interior design

revolve, recovering its aesthetic and

formal fundamentals.

Today, the market is increasingly

turning to synthetic or emulative

materials, which replicate the precious

textures of natural stones. It's a sign

of the hectic times we're living in,

marked by easy aesthetic shortcuts

dictated by the need to contain costs,

where form betrays substance. By

contrast, natural stone is increasingly

the status symbol of an elite group of

beauty connoisseurs who do not want

to compromise.

Let's never forget that natural stone

is the foundation on which the artistic

and architectural heritage of our

country is based. Marbles, quartzites,

granites and onyxes are the living

matter on which immortal works of

art have been carved and buildings

erected that mark global landmarks

"For us, authenticity is an absolute value.

The only marble effect possible is the one that

nature has designed over millions of years"
