Breccia Elegante by Marmi Orobici Graniti is a stone that embodies the raw power of Sicilian nature and the majestic presence of Italy’s most iconic volcano. Born from the incandescent heart of the Earth, this extraordinary material is the result of millions of years of volcanic eruptions, lava flows, and gradual solidification. Formed through the slow cooling of basaltic lava from the slopes of Mount Etna, Breccia Elegante features a dense structure, fine grain and a natural elegance that tells the story of fire, time and transformation.
The stone is quarried at the base of Mount Etna, in Sicily, where extraction is carried out with deep respect for the environment and local tradition. Here, Marmi Orobici Graniti selects only the finest blocks, transforming them into premium quality slabs ready to enhance architectural spaces across the world.
Breccia Elegante is visually striking: its background can vary from beige to red-orange, crossed by grey, white and occasionally golden veins. Its charming appearance makes it a natural choice for high-impact interiors, sophisticated flooring, wall cladding, furniture and luxury design projects.
Renowned architects and designers, such as Renzo Piano and Massimiliano Fuksas, have chosen Breccia Elegante to decorate public spaces and architectural works that embrace both nature and materiality. Today, the stone is featured in luxury hotels, boutiques, and private residences, where its presence creates environments that are both authentic and refined.
For centuries, the people of Sicily have used volcanic stone to build homes, roads and monuments, appreciating its durability and resistance to all weather conditions. Today, thanks to the craftsmanship of Marmi Orobici Graniti, Breccia Elegante continues to represent a perfect balance between primordial energy and contemporary design.
