When I was a young salesman, I lived in a unremarkable - and frankly, rather boring - village near Naples. Every afternoon, I sipped an espresso at the coffee house in the marketplace. And every afternoon, the trucks from the quarry roared past, loaded with massive blocks of marble almost completely covered in dirt.
And yet, the elderly gentlemen in the café could accurately identify the types of stone. Whether it was Nocciolatino, Mezza Perla or Perlatino - even the finest differences were spotted by their skilled eyes. This fascinated me so much that I too wanted to dive into the world of natural stones.
As luck would have it, my uncle owned a quarry and was looking for a salesman. He knew that I spoke several languages and offered me the job. I accepted with gratitude. A few years and many sold stones later, on a vacation trip, I met a German businessman who was looking for natural stones for his villa.
That's how I landed my first construction project. That was the beginning of Stones & Rocks. I found the right stone for his villa: Nero Impala. To this day, I am enthusiastic about working with natural stones. And it's an enthusiasm shared by the entire Stones & Rocks team. But enough about me. Let's find the right stone for you.
