Serizzo Antigorio Al Verso

Serizzo is a material that has always been appreciated for its particular physical and mechanical characteristics, which perfectly fit for many different uses, especially for the construction industry sector focused on outdoor areas.

Quarrying activities are made by experienced staff following the ancient tradition developed during centuries in this region, nowadays enhanced by the latest technologies and digging equipment. All these factors contribute to a high quality production with a better optimization and less material waste.
