POETRY IN STONE: ITALIAN MARBLE & GRANITE TILES
“Not even the best of artists has any conception
That a single marble block does not contain
Within its excess, and that is only attained
By the hand that obeys the intellect”

That is a rough translation of Michelangelo Buonarotti’s immortal lines:

“Non ha l’ottimo artista alcun concetto,
ch’un marmo solo in sé non circoscriva
col suo soverchio; e solo quello arriva
la mano che obbedisce all’intelletto.”

Of course, Michelangelo was talking about marble only, and he has reason to, because he did more to popularise Italian marble – specifically, Carrara marble – than anyone has done.
And it is owing to the great artist and sculptor that even today, people across the world associate Italian marble tiles with art, and Carrara has become the marble capital of the world.

However, Italy has also made a name for itself in the granite tiles segment, and both granite and marble tiles today form a large part of the country’s exports.
Considering the variety of uses to which both marble and granite can be put, their popularity is growing by the day, and a marble tile or granite tile finish to your bedroom, kitchen, or bathroom can work wonders for the look and feel of the space.

Historically, marble and granite are the materials that have found greatest favour with sculptors and craftsmen.
However, they were also used for domestic purposes in ancient Asia and Europe.
Hence, they have always been associated with art.
In modern times, Omnia Marble & Granite is one of the few companies working out of Italy that focuses on the link between art and marble and granite.
Whether it is granite tiles or marble tiles, the twin purposes that they serve are beauty and functionality.
And at Omnia Marble & Granite, the focus is on both.
The best thing about marble and granite tiles is that they perform a lot of functions that other materials cannot, and their aesthetic qualities ensure that they combine well with any kind of woodwork and metal fixtures.

So the next time you think of ordering marble tiles or granite tiles for your home, go for the best that Italy has to offer by exploring www.omniamarble.com.
You will find every variety of marble tile and granite tile on offer, and once you view the stock, you will realise why the company boasts thousands of satisfied customers all over the world.
