ONE-DAY CONFERNCE ON "MARBLE AND DRESSED STONE: ASSESSMENT AND OUTLOOK"

Stone culture and its use in building structures is only a memory for the vast majority of the population. Yet, we are all aware of the quality, durability and aesthetics that are certainly the convincing assets of natural stone, a stone that is totally in keeping with the current quest for authenticity and the ongoing debate about environment and sustainable development.
 
 
The day addressed the following areas:
 

• The advantages of stone as a building material;
• Actions to be taken to give new life to stone in our buildings;
• National production of marble and stone: processes, marketing, import and export;
• Restoration of built heritage;
• Legislation on marble and stone
