Pietra di Cogne Quartzite Quarry

LA PIRA srl was founded in 1987 in Aosta Valley (Italy) and since the beginning was involved in the manufacturing and sale of stones, granites, marbles and roofing slates. With these precious raw materials we realize all the architectural elements for interior and exterior settings which characterize both typical houses in the mountains and modern buildings and all those elements commonly used for the urban furniture. The natural stone, symbol of the enduring beauty, strength and solidity, embodies the ideals on which the philosophy of our company is based.
Since 1991 we have the use of one of the two existing stone quarries in the “Cogne Valley”; from this quarry we derive a particular raw material that owns unique characteristics: the Pietra di Cogne. With extreme pride and parsimony, we directly take care of the extraction, the manufacturing and the sale of this rare and beyond compare natural stone. Knowing the Pietra di Cogne’s quality in 2011 we started to manage the other existing quarry to have the exclusivity on this precious material.
Starting from the end of 2007 we handle a quarry placed in the mountains of Valdigne, on the high side of Aosta Valley. After a long period of inactivity is now providing us a raw material very appreciated since long time: the stone of Morgex.
