A Story Carved in Stone
The story of Marmi Faedo begins with an authentic passion for stone, proudly passed down from generation to generation. Over sixty years ago, Angelo Faedo took his first steps in the stone industry. He was the pioneer of the business, the first to lay the foundations of a lasting legacy.
Later, the baton passed to his son, Alessandro Faedo, who, in the second half of the 1980s, acquired the entire quarry, making the company the sole extractor of Grolla stone in the world. This generational transition is not just a change in leadership but a story of passion handed down, of deep sector knowledge, and of total commitment to excellence.
This was the crucial moment when the company took the reins of its destiny, becoming not just a stone extractor but a custodian of tradition, an innovator in the sector, and a guarantor of uncompromising quality. t is this bond with our roots, enriched by a zeal for evolution, that is reflected in the craftsmanship of our artisans, in the timeless beauty of our stones, and in the pride that permeates every block extracted from the Grolla Quarry.
We were born from passionate craftsmen determined to cultivate and preserve the ancient art of stone processing. Our master craftsmen embody dedication and skill, shaping the stone with precision that goes beyond simple technique. Every single piece of stone worked by them becomes a work of art, a tangible witness to our history and the artisanal skill that has characterized Marmi Faedo for years. Their mastery is not limited to shaping stone; it is a philosophy of life: a constant commitment to enhancing the natural beauty of the stone, keeping alive a tradition that evolves without losing its authenticity. These artisans, with their skills passed down from generation to generation, are the guardians of an art that has withstood the test of time, maintaining the fundamental values of Marmi Faedo.
Commitment to Sustainability: A Legacy for the Future
Our dedication to the environment is the backbone of our mission. Beyond our main activity of shaping stone, we are engaged in a constant effort to preserve the natural beauty of our planet. Over the years, we have taken a tangible commitment to maintain and preserve the concession, developing a plan that would protect the territory and comply with stringent environmental regulations. This plan was meticulously drafted and subsequently approved by the Building Commissions of Valdagno and Cornedo, ensuring a balance between our extraction activities and the conservation of the surrounding environment.
Our commitment goes well beyond mere regulatory compliance: we are aware of the responsibility we have towards the land that hosts us. The Grolla Quarry, the heart of our activity, has become an iconic presence in the landscape, with stone benches exceeding 50 meters. But we don’t stop there. We have implemented active strategies to reduce our impact on the environment, turning the quarry into a model “eco-quarry.”
Marmi Faedo is not limited to simple extractive management. We have adopted a land restoration plan, investing in the replanting of grass and trees in harmony with the advancement of extraction activities. This plan has passed rigorous controls and has received approval from the Municipal, Provincial, and Regional Council Commissions, as well as from the Verdi Foundation. Starting from 2021, the Grolla Quarry is certified according to UNI EN ISO 14001:2015, a recognition of our continuous commitment to implement environmentally respectful development strategies and adhere to high-level environmental regulations. This constant commitment to environmental sustainability guides us towards a future where the beauty of our work perfectly marries the preservation of nature.
