Now I’d like to explain where the name “Miss Marmi srl” came from.

It’s a question I’m often asked by customers, and my reply is always the same.

How many times do we hear sayings like “as cold as marble”, “ah, marble cutters are the ones who make headstones”, “you’re thicker than marble” …?

Just like any saying, some of what people believe is true, and the rest is less so.

Have you ever gone into a cathedral or a basilicata? Or even stopped for a moment to look at the exterior of a fancy church?

My passion for marble has driven me to visit many, and I can assure you that the feeling of stupor that assails you as you gaze up at its interiors, that sensation of warmth you get when you enter its spaces, are due to the marble coverings, the granite columns covered in stone, the sculptures carved by hand in stone and marble, and even the simple baptismal fonts and altars, all in stone, marble or granite.

Marble is anything but “cold”. It is not only used to make headstones. And it is extremely resistant and durable.

Marble (and by that I also mean granite, stone and other similar materials,) is enveloping and warm like a woman’s embrace, it is strong and resistant as a woman (or a man) can be, and it is elegant like a woman…hence the name: “Miss Marmi”.

Marble is like a woman … A woman makes a house a home, brings elegance to its rooms and resists in the face of pain (I’m a mother and giving birth is no mean feat).

In a nutshell, I want to give you an idea of marble that at least gets close to my own perception of this wonderful material.
