Valmalenco

The Valmalenco is a wide Alpine valley in Sondrio province, close to the border with Switzerland. It has been recognised and is studied as a site of mineral deposits and stones including the most famous one, theSerpentine stone, which is much appreciated in the field of ornamental rocks because of its highly unusual streaks.
These streaks are a special feature of the through-body coloured porcelain stoneware slabs in the Valmalenco collection. With a well-defined identity, they run lengthwise and blend perfectly with the base colour of the tile.
