Strength, courage and experience: these are the qualities that have always distinguished the quarryman, an ancient trade that sinks its roots in the late Middle Ages and that has contributed to giving the Valtellina the worldwide recognition it enjoys today.
The work of the quarryman has always been dangerous, especially in times when the extraction of the stone and its transportation to the valley was carried out with primitive means. But with the passage of time and the advent of new technologies, the quarries became more accessible, working conditions improved and the craft became far less dangerous.
With great humility and determination, since 1100 these men dedicated to working the stone gave life to an industry that was to play an integral role in the socio-economic development of Northern Italy.
Serpentino e Graniti took up this great heritage and over the years has brought it to a level of excellence by managing to couple the traditional artisan character of the trade with the need to introduce more advanced, sophisticated methods.
