Established in 1980 by Francesco Monitillo, Monitillo Marmi is right outside the city of Altamura, in the heart of Puglia. Surrounded by the charactersitc Murgia's hills, the company has a 12000sqm area in which stones, marbles and granites are stored and processed.

Over the years, thanks to the rapid growth of local and international demand, the company introduces CNC (computer numerical control) machines for high precisions works which, in addition to the craftsmanship and expertise, allow to endlessly shape abstract forms and turn them into an advanced serial production.

Monitillo Marmi is involved in several projects of construction sites and private residences, proposing a model based on the careful observation of details and on the development of tailor made solutions. The design of products evolves together with the company.: unique features of new materials, elegant visions and an ongoing commitment to innovation and implementation of new business models.

Monitillo undertakes innovation trails with research centers and Universities, to improve the knowledge on new materials and development of new production technologies.

In 2014 these partnerships lead to the creation of the project Pietre di Monitillo (literally Stones of Monitillo), a collection of design  products for the home. The project involved several important names of the Italian and international design scene and received a special mention in the prestigious ADI Design Index 2015 with the product Ovo.
