Company Description
The Succetti firm was established in 1945, when Mario Succetti started his activity by opening granite and “Ghiandone” (a particular type of granite) quarries in Villa di Chiavenna and Montespluga, namely two little villages located in Northern Italy. In 1960 Mario Succetti started, together with his son Luciano, the mechanical processing of marbles, granites and Beoles (a particular type of green stone) by opening a workshop in Chiavenna, in which they used to produce carved and semi-carved such as columns, pedestals, portals, gravestones, tiles, doorsteps, modular, windowsills, floors, staircases, steps, risers, footprints. In 1973 the firm turned into a General Partnership and it was built the new cutting, manufacturing plant for marble, granite blocks and slabs. During those years the company, under Luciano’s management and with Arturo and Carolina’s contribution, namely his brother and sister, grew to such an extent that it acquired important partnerships in companies owing quarries of “Verde Spluga Beola”, Dubin black (igneous stone similar to granite, as an alternative to the one from Valmasino), white granite San Fedelino and Emerald Stone (all the quoted places above are located in the surrounding area of Chiavenna, called Valtellina).In 1998 our company started the extraction of the so called “pietra ollare” (soapstone), which had been quarried in Chiavenna since the Roman times. Hereby our materials: green quartzite from Spluga (Verde Spluga), grey Beola, Dubin black (serizzo dubino), soapstone Italy (pietra ollare), emerald stone and granite from San Fedelino.
