We make, besides the traditional products with natural surface, such as cubes, tiles and stairs, the full range of processed products, with sawn, flamed, brushed, and polished surface, for flooring and facing. We also make cut-to-size works.

...and yesterday...

The story of Porfidi Italia 2000 is the story of the Decarli family, linked to the tradition and to the passion for stone. We have quarried and worked the stone for four generations. First the great-grandfather, then the grandfather Bruno Decarli, worked the Stone of Trento in the quarries in Pila and passed down the craft to Gabriele. In 1981 the porphyry quarry in the area Lastari was bought by Gabriele and Porfidi Italia 2000 was established, as company specialized in porphyry, from the quarry to the working and laying. Gabriele’s daughters, Gloria and Elisa, and son Daniel, since their childhood could see with their father the different stages of production, learning to love porphyry, the work and its secrets. Passion expressed in all the porphyry products of Porfidi Italia 2000 represents a unique heritage of experience, with attention to detail, that characterises our creations. All the stages of productions are followed step by step by the Decarli family, to give to their customers products that lasts over time, for the future genenerations. This is why we can say that our porphyry is... Porphyry made with love
