CULTURE AND VALUES

Since ancient times, the cultures of peoples have been carved into marble.
Civilizations chose it as a noble stone to entrust their stories to the immortality of time, sublimate in Art.
Civilizations not only as societies.
“Civiltà” also means urbanity—the choice to act with kindness and courtesy.
Freud believed that civilization encompassed all activities aimed at the pursuit of beauty, culture, and order.
Civilization is Art.

I founded La Civiltà del Marmo because I firmly believe that Art, Economy, and Nature must coexist and integrate in deep harmony and respect. This is the mission that guides every one of our decisions and actions.

The emperor penguin is a specialized and social animal that lives and breeds in densely populated colonies, considered a “heroic father” for the courage with which it protects new life, stoically enduring a harsh environment.
It is also an endangered species, as it vitally depends on an environment that must not overheat as our Earth is doing.
It is the emblem of what we must preserve, protect, and allow to thrive.

This is our role.
This is our responsibility.
