In the 2015 edition of the Marmomacc fair in Verona (Italy), held from 30 September to 3 October, “The Italian Stone Theatre” was presented, a project made by Raffaello Galiotto and Vincenzo Pavan to demonstrate what design and technology can achieve when united to the unique possibilities of natural stone.
Divided in two sections: materials and technology, in the first one the exhibitions “Carpets of Stone” and “Lithic Vertigo” were displayed. The technology section was represented by the exhibition “Digital Lithic Design”.
