A stone that carries 100 years of history

From the heart of the earth to iconic projects: the story of Basaltina® is a tale of passion, tradition, and innovation. For over a century, this stone has supported architects and designers in shaping works destined to endure.

The story of the stone and our family

From the heart of Italy, in Bagnoregio (VT), lies the only quarry of Basaltina® lava stone. The same stone once chosen by the Ancient Romans to build cities, roads, and monuments designed to last for centuries. A symbol of strength and timelessness.

Basaltina Srl carries forward this historical heritage, combining centuries-old expertise with progressive technological innovations to offer a material of the highest quality.

The Tecchi family, at the center of Basaltina’s history since 1925, has transformed the extraction and processing of stone into a true art.

Their dedication has made Basaltina® a reference in natural lava stone, recognized for its distinctive character and timeless elegance. Today, the Basaltina® brand stands for Made in Italy excellence, internationally established as a benchmark in lava stone.

The Basaltina® brand is now synonymous with excellence in Made in Italy, indisputably recognized internationally as the absolute reference among lava stones.
