As an international benchmark for the entire natural stone supply chain, from raw material to advanced processing, Marmomac is preparing to welcome over 1,400 exhibitors from more than 50 countries and a global community of over 50,000 operators and professionals from 150 nations (2024 data).
The 2025 edition, the 59th, aims to highlight all the “veins” of the event that tell the story of stone in its productive, technical, and cultural dimensions, continuing its vocation as an event where stone is presented in its many lives, from the raw block to the finished work.
The 2025 layout, inspired by Le Corbusier’s Plan Voisin (1925), will give shape to a contemporary “city of stone,” articulated in narrative paths that will guide the public through architecture, art, design, and industry.
This year, 15 years after its first presentation at the Venice Film Festival, Marmomac celebrates stone with a program of daily screenings of “Il Capo” by Yuri Ancarani, filmed entirely in a marble quarry. From the noises in the quarry also comes the first playlist dedicated to the sounds of marble, which tells the story of the various phases of its processing.
The fourth edition of The Plus Theatre will be held in Hall 10, a program of talks, lectures, workshops, and four thematic exhibitions dedicated to the stone universe. In addition to the in-depth studies aimed at professionals with training credits valid for professional updating, a panel of meetings is scheduled. Within this context, Davide Fabio Colaci will give a lecture entitled “Marble and the Values of Surface.”
The entire year of work of Marmomac meets Academy translates, as a final act, into the exhibition Fabula Litica: The Enchanted Forest, curated by Giuseppe Fallacara, which involved over 15 universities and research institutes. Dedicated to the most innovative technologies, machinery, and tools for stone processing, the Stone Next exhibition curated by Giorgio Canale, together with Epiphanies by Galiotto, celebrates ingenuity through mechanical and technological innovation, representing the great potential of the technology exhibited in the district.
Carlo Trevisani and Silvia Dandini for ADI (Association for Industrial Design), continue the investigation – inaugurated in the 2024 edition – on the compositional languages of stone: ADI – Modular Verticality.
With the aim of enhancing the role of clients in architecture, Marmomac is establishing a “Marmomac Special” section this year, an initiative in collaboration with the Dedalo Minosse international award.
