A CONTEMPORARY GLOBAL
SUCCESS STORY
The exceptional chemical and physical properties of Botticino Classico mean its versatility
is practically limitless. Resistance to freezing, changes of temperature and impact make it ideal for
exterior cladding, while when polished it displays stunning chromatic effects for interiors. Finally,
when sculpted, its monumental impact has a grandeur second to none. Which is why it plays a
leading international role in contemporary fine architecture projects and other prestige contexts
like the office floors at the new Teatro alla Scala in Milan. And why exclusive hotel chains choose it
to create spectacular interiors, including the new Hilton and Sheraton in Buenos Aires or the Shin
Hanky Hotel in Kyoto. While the top US architects use it for major construction projects like One
International Place in Boston, in Japan and the Middle East it is used for high profile public works.
The Chamber of Commerce of Sakai City, Osaka and the façade of the Red Sea Hospital in Jeddah
are examples of cutting edge architecture projects in which Botticino Classico is used to create a
spectacular effect. In the age of globalisation, Botticino Classico marble represents a quality that is
unique to the production culture which has grown up in its area of origin.
