For anyone that has been mesmerised by film maker Yuri Ancarani’s short film ‘Il Capo’, about the stone mason directing the cutting of enormous slabs of Carrara Marble in a quarry in Italy, you’ll understand why the sight of any picture of natural marble popping into PIP’s inbox can set us all a-flutter. Stone supplier Gerald Culliford benefited from that frisson this month when it sent in a press release for its exotic ‘Opera d’Arte’ range of French marble, which presents some kaleidoscopic colour effects ranging from black to deep, intense violet, lighter lilac and hints of green.
