In days when marble blocks were still
carried on ox-drown carts (the 1920s), the Testi family owned two quarries in
Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella: one of Rosso Verona and the other of Bronzetto
Verona. The famous marbles were quarried by the Testi family and sold to local
and foreign Companies. After the War and after post-war reconstruction,
(in the early 1970s), one of the sons, Claudio Testi, founded the
Testi
Fratelli partnership. He was joined by his brothers Gustavo
and Riccardo – at the time employed elswhere (one in Switzerland, and the other
at a major local marble firm) – each contributing new experience and
professional skills to those already acquired at the family quarry by then no
more in production.
