Mariotti is about stone, Italian stone, and a family that has been quarring and finish stone dating back to 1890....The family manifactures finished stones such as marbles and granites, but the stone that the family reputation was built travertine... Mariotti is a tour through the quarrying process, the cutting of the stone from the hand to the hand finishing of delicate arches and curves adorning the exteriors of some the more famous building in America: 580 California in San Francisco, The Lincoln Center in New York, One Shell Plaza in Houston, Momentum Place in Dallas, and Sears Tower in Chicago....
