The Marble
Founded in 1987, the Consortium of Botticino Classico Marble Producers associates the leading local Producers, qualifying itself as the main promoter of the culture and quality of Botticino Classico Marble in the world.
Produced exclusively from the marble basin located in the Municipality of Botticino, near Brescia, the “Classico” is the finest quality of Botticino varieties. A unique marble for its remarkable chromatic color, but also for its extremely compact and durable structure, which makes it a versatile material for architectural and artistic achievements.
Examples are, the Shin Hankyu Hotel in Kyoto, the new Hilton and Sheraton in Buenos Aires, the One International Place in Boston, the Red Sea Hospital in Jeddah and finally the Winged Victory with an installation designed by Juan Navarro Baldeweg; avant-garde building where the Botticino Classico marble achieves extraordinary scenographic effects.

Sustainability
Establishing the attitude of a material to be considered ECO-SUSTAINABLE means considering its LIFE CYCLE in its entirety: from PRODUCTION to USE to REUSE or DISPOSAL, as well as the possible effects that each of these phases can determine on the environment.
Botticino Classico marble is sustainable
From Roman age Botticino Classico marble is:
Because the proximity between quarries and processing sites minimizes transport costs and pollution factors.
Because it does not release vapours, gases, fumes, or fine dust inside domestic environments, it does not have processing residues after installation and does not favor the birth of mold and microorganisms, bacteria, fungi. It is anti-bacterial, anti-allergic, hygienic.
Because when it is properly laid, it guarantees an unlimited duration; its life cycle is higher than that of any other building material, so it is also economically advantageous.
Because it exists in nature, it is neither manufactured nor created in a laboratory. Furthermore, its cultivation is subject to numerous environmental constraints including the recovery of active and abandoned sites.
Because it falls within A1 fire reaction class of building materials (UNI EN 13501-1) and, in case of fire, it does not propagate or feed flames and it never emits harmful and / or harmful substances.
Because it has natural characteristics that may potentially ensure that buildings boast excellent energetic properties as well as excellent thermal and acoustic performances.
Because in case of disposal for demolition or removal it can be reusable indefinitely.
