Stone in general is characterized by its lack of uniformity due to the fact that it is a natural product, the same stone can

Italian stone unique and inimitable.
But in order to obtain a correct result it is necessary, in Italy as elsewhere, to monitor its extraction and processing for which constant stone quality control in Italy
is required over time. A stone quarry that was considered good at any given time might

Continuous inspection through stone quality control of the mining industry is absolutely necessary in order
to understand which mining fields are suitable at that time. When the suitable Italian quarry for the type of product to be obtained has been identified, it

The phases of the Italian stone quality control process are:
