ROOTS AND VISIONS
La Civiltà del Marmo was born from a deep love for an ancient, noble, and timeless material: marble.
Since 1818, it has safeguarded the allure of a stone that has told the stories and cultures of civilizations, elevating them into Art. Guided by a vision that blends economy, art, and nature, the Vanelli family continues this legacy with balance and harmony.
Over the years, this passion has evolved into a hallmark of excellence, deeply rooted in the tradition of the Carrara quarries — a global symbol of beauty, prestige, and refined artisanal culture. But marble is not just a stone to be extracted and sculpted. It is a story to be lived, a full sensory experience, a cultural heritage to be passed on. From the belief that each block holds not only beauty but also time, history, and the identity of a place, a natural evolution toward hospitality was born.
For La Civiltà del Marmo, investing in hospitality has meant offering guests something truly unique: the opportunity to immerse themselves in spaces where marble is no longer just a decorative element but becomes the very essence of the stay — a tangible experience of elegance. Through exclusive accommodations, luxury guesthouses, and historic residences enhanced by stone elements, the company has chosen to tell the story of marble in a new way, making it the protagonist of moments of conviviality, relaxation, and culture.
