WELCOME TO THE LAND OF MARBLE 'Since the eve of
time, the Balkan's have always been marble's cradle. The first quarries in historic memory were those of the Aegean and of the Marmara Isle: in fact according to a wide-spread
theory, the actual name marble, seems to originate from a mutation of the word Marmara. Therefore, Turkey's traditions in this sector, in addition to those of first manual sawing, that
are archeologically documented, are long standing. What is more, the great works of classical antiquity and of the imperial era, clearly highlight the role that marble and stone have
played in the Ottoman art and architecture.
Today, following a rather long stagnant period,
Turkey has returned to playing a major role at the foreffront of the stone world' , Stone Development in Turkey, Giornale del Marno, International Stone Magazine GDM 224 Marzo Aprile,
