A New Chapter
Has Begun
The history of Fiammetta's family began in 1818, when Duchess Maria Beatrice d’Este granted the family the right to excavate the white marble of Carrara. Since the nineteenth century, the family's quarry supplied marble for the construction of public works in the most important European capitals. In 1890 the creation of the marble railway was completed: cut with ancient artisan techniques, the marble blocks took the sea road, on wonderful sailing ships, crossing oceans and rivers, to enter the heart of the cities.
A Long History
of Two Centuries
In 1960 the father of Fiammetta acquired the quarry, called Zona67 - Zona Mossa, in the Bettogli mount and since 2011 the family also owns another quarry in Silvestre. Today, with the advent of robotics and the latest techniques that allow endless cutting solutions, it is possible to realize complex artworks and special projects. Fiammetta is the successor of this extraordinary heritage, the feminine declination of a long family tradition.
