Porfidi Pianacci srl uses the porphyry quarries in the Montegaggio region. The extracted rock in these areas is mined in shades of grey-brown, red-violet, rust or red-rust.

The quality and quantity of minerals in porphyry give this distinctive rock its natural strength. Phenocrystals of quartz, mica and feldspars are added to the raw material to make the final product resistant to chemical and temperature changes — making it perfect for creating hard-wearing flooring and furniture.
