Basaltina S.r.l

In 1925 Giuseppe Tecchi, the founder of Basaltina, gathered together stonemasons from Bagnoregio to form a select team. The quarry had been mined since ancient times, when small quantities of stone were excavated to create everyday objects. Basaltina had become famous for its durability and versatility. The founder's son, Raffaele Tecchi, has consolidated the company's success and assimilated all the latest technological developments. Basaltina'sstate-of-the-art equipment allows it to extract and process thousands of cubic meters of stone every year.
The company started off as a local firm and has grown into a major industrial manufacturer, admiredall over the world. Its staff works with the same passion as ever but now its market is international.
