Founded in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella, in the province of Verona, Antolini is celebrating 70 years in businesssince its establishment in 1956. This anniversary provides an opportunity to look back over the company’s history; from its very beginnings, it has continued to uphold the same philosophy: natural stone possesses unique characteristics that must be showcased.
Luigi Antolini founded the company in Verona, where a culture of stone is deeply rooted, recognising the value of this material: he thus introduced an approach that would, over time, come to define the company – the search for stone became a meticulous process of selection. The founder regarded the nuances, veining and natural patterns of the slabs as unique and unrepeatable. This approach makes stone the centrepiece of spaces and experiences, creating exclusive collections, innovative craftsmanship and solutions.
This approach has enabled the Verona-based company to engage with the world of architecture and design, where natural surfaces are playing an increasingly central role in the language of design, lending character and identity to projects and spaces. With the development of state-of-the-art machinery and new proprietary technologies, such as Azerocare Plus, Azerobact Plus and Avacuum Process, the company has enhanced its reputation amongst architects and designers, establishing a presence in international markets. The aim, however, remains to showcase unique and one-of-a-kind materials, without resorting to mass production.
Today,Antolini can count on an international distribution network and an extensive catalogue of natural stones – some of which are exclusive– sourced from selected quarries around the world, with a daily production capacity of up to 4,500 square metres.
