Basaltina, a 100% Italian company founded by Giuseppe Tecchi in 1925, has always been governed by values that give pride of place to human relationships. It now employs 75 fully qualified workers but, despite its enormous workload, it is still run along the harmonious lines of a family firm. This continuity is the key to Basaltina's commercial success. Basaltina is unique as no other stone can match its subtle colouring and textures. These are a result of both the natural characteristics of the lava from which it is formed and the company's superlative craftsmanship. (less)
