Once whittled away at by Michelangelo in the throes of the Renaissance, white Carrara marble has a classical history and a reputation as one of the world’s most sought-after natural stones. It’s quarried in Carrara’s Alpi Apuane and distinguished by its arresting brightness and the delicate veins that meander across and beneath the surface. Carrara’s lofty status never daunted the Bufalini family, their 300-year legacy in the marble and stone industry preceding them. In the modern era, Bufalini employs a loyal and highly skilled technical staff – masons, installers and coordinators – to realise marble designs for the home that range from the simple to the deceptively intricate.
