Salvatori was founded in 1946 in Querceta, Tuscany, near the Carrara marble quarries. In 1950, founder Guido Salvatori invented the “split surface” coating, in which the stone opens up to reveal the textured surface inside. In the early 2000s, it started producing bathroom products such as bathtubs and washbasins as well as textures. More recently, the company introduced the Home Collection, starting with tables to enhance their appeal and then expanding into areas such as lighting, storage solutions and accessories.
