Italian Marble: 200-year History of Jacopo Cecchini Family Quarry

Last week, our CEO Angela Liu had an amazing collaboration with a Calacatta Gold and Statuario Marble quarry owner — Mr. Jacopo Cecchini. At Xiamen Aofei Building Materials, we  believe that cooperation and endorsement among great professionals is crucial to the industry's success and development. That’s why, in today’s latest news article we want to share the fascinating facts about Mr. Cecchini’s family Italian marble quarry. 

Cecchini family quarry’s history has begun during Roman times and continues to this day. The is located in Carrara, Tuscany, Italy — the only place where amazing Calacatta Gold marble is found. Mr. Cecchini’s family has owned the quarry for over 200 years and has a company that is already 50 years old. 

Owning and managing a marble quarry is a highly responsible and complex task, but it was even tougher before. All the marble had to be transported by animals. Right now, Mr. Jacopo’s family has a variety of high-quality and top durability Italian marble, all stocked and stored in Italy. Some of the most popular materials are Calacatta Gold marble, Calacatta Cremo Delicato, and Statuario marble.  

Calacatta Gold Marble is an extremely rare type of natural stone. This material is an icon of the marble world, known for its exceptional quality and looks. Like other kinds of natural stone, Calacatta Gold Marble is a sustainable green material, and with proper maintenance, it can serve you for years, in some way reducing over-consumption and helping the environment. Despite being such a rare natural stone, due to its amazing qualities and great looks, Calacatta Gold Marble is one of the most used materials in China and all over the world.

We are grateful to Mr. Jacopo for sharing such a fascinating story about his marble quarry during the conference call. Xiamen Aofei Building Materials values relationships with such amazing professionals like Mr. Cecchini and looks forward to future collaborations.
