Working in Lanzada since 1970
In 1936 Mauri Angelo, Mauri Italo's father, came from Galbiate (province of Lecco) arrived at Chiesa in Valmalenco, where he worked as a quarry menager at Serpentino d'Italia, owned by Senator Migoni.
In the early 1950s he worked in Lanzada for the construction of the Campo Franscia tunnels, built to reach the Campo Moro dams.
In Tornadri, the "trovanti" (abandoned rock) of Serpentine add up and subsequently begin their excavation activity, under the name of Mauri Angelo. At the time the activity consisted in the extraction and sale of the Serpentine.
Dissatisfied with the different types of colors of the blocks, he worked to obtain a concession for Le Prese quarry, from which he obtained more uniform blocks.
In 1954, fourteen-year-old Mauri Italo began collaborating with Le Prese quarry and in 1970, when he became the owner, he opened the Dossi di Franscia quarry.
In 1995 the sons Mauri Roberto, Mauri Claudio and Mauri Angelo took over and Marmi Mauri srl started. This company, in addition to the extraction of the material, also deals with its processing to obtain finished products.
Nowadays, the fourth generation of the family works in the company (Mauri Paolo).
