The use of marble in kitchen was first noted almost three thousand years ago. A very precious and rarefied marble, Breccia Medicea, is widely
acknowledged to have been a cause of battles between the Etruscans and the Roman Empire and the Medici family at the beginning of Renaissance. Much to its beauty
and special qualities, in churches the font is always formed specifically in breccia medicea, an appropriate godly material for holding the sacred water for the blessing.
In reverence and to enjoy this marble in all its glory, Henge is on the cusp of completing the acquisition of one of the last areas in the mountain of the Breccia Medicea
dell'Acqua Santa quarry.
