First be Best, Then be First

About

Sardinia is a holiday paradise for tourists, a place famous for its excellent cuisine and kind people. For lovers of beautiful interiors, however, this island is important for one more reason. It is here that the extraordinary Crema Veneziana marble is mined, which decorates elegant houses and apartments.

It all started in Orosei

The picturesque town of Orosei in Sardinia has been known for many years among natural stone lovers all over the world. It is here that the renowned Marmo di Orosei quarry, founded in 1969 by brothers Ivo and Leandro Ratti, is located. 

Today, this place is run by the next generation of the Ratti family. The technology of marble extraction and production has changed, but the beauty of marble slabs has not changed. The quarry is often referred to as Daino, a fallow deer from the deer family living in Sardinian forests. When nearly 40 years ago, when Ivo and Leandro Ratti excavated the first blocks of stone, the marble layers formed an image resembling a fallow deer skin.

About

In the past, outstanding artists created their works there. Today, it is an inseparable element of the design of the most representative and elegant interiors. 

Timeless marble – its white, classic version is considered the most desirable. Although the heyday of marble’s popularity did not fall until the Renaissance, the beauty of this precious stone was appreciated already in antiquity. It was especially liked by sculptors and architects of monumental buildings of that time. 

Nowadays, it has become one of the favorite finishing materials in the hands of interior architects who appreciate its timeless elegance and an extremely wide range of decorative possibilities. Coming from the deposits of the Italian Carrara quarry, white marble fits perfectly both in classic combinations and in more modern arrangements, characterized by minimalism and monochromatic colors.
