The Succetti firm was born in 1945, when Mario Succetti started his activity by opening granite and “Ghiandone” (a particular type of granite) quarries in Villa di Chiavenna and Montespluga, namely two little villages located in Northern Italy. In 1960 Mario Succetti started, together with his son Luciano, the mechanical making of marbles, granites and Beoles (a particular type of green stone) by opening a workshop in Chiavenna, in which they used to produce carved and semi-carved such as columns, pedestals, portals, gravestones, tiles, doorsteps, modular, windowsills, floors, staircases, steps, risers, footprints.In 1973 the firm turned into a General Partnership and it was built the new cutting, manufacturing plant for marble, granite blocks and slabs. During those years the company, under Luciano’s management and with Arturo and Carolina’s contribution, namely his brother and sister, grew to such an extent that it acquired important copartnerships in companies owing quarries of “Verde Spluga Beola” (green porphyry), Dubin black (igneous
stone similar to granite, as an alternative to the one from Valmasino), granite from San Fedelino and Emerald
Stone (all the quoted places above are located in the surrounding area of Chiavenna, called Valtellina).In 1998 our company started the extraction of the so called “ollare”
stone (soapstone), which had been dug up in Chiavenna since the Roman times.Hereby our materials: green quartzite from Spluga (Verde Spluga), grey Beola, Dubin balck(serizzo dubino), soapstone(pietra ollare), emerald
stone and granite from San Fedelino.
