The properties of granite — hardness, durability, and decorative appeal — have been valued since the great civilisations of antiquity. Processing yields cobblestones, tiles, and kerbs in a wide range of colours. Granites are intrusive rocks composed mainly of quartz, orthoclase, and micas, which determine their characteristic colouration. These properties make granite particularly suited to modern construction, especially for flooring. Part of the granite processed by Cianciullo Marmi comes from Sardinian quarries; the main suppliers are international.
