Cristallina marble is not just a material: it is a universal language that spans centuries of history, transforming today into a meeting point between art, culture, and contemporary design. Extracted from the only marble quarry in Peccia, Switzerland, this extraordinary white marble continues to inspire sculptors, designers, and international brands, becoming a symbol of creativity and innovation.<\/p>\n

The International Sculpture Center: an alpine hub for art<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2021, the International Sculpture Center (CIS)<\/strong> <\/a>was inaugurated in Peccia, Val Lavizzara: a cultural project that uniquely enhances three-dimensional art and Cristallina marble. The CIS is a true creative laboratory, offering workshops for marble, wood, and metal processing, welcoming international artists selected through competitions, and hosting temporary exhibitions and interdisciplinary events that transform the small alpine village into an open window to the world of contemporary art.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this initiative, Peccia has today become an international reference point, where artisanal tradition merges with the most current artistic research. Here, Cristallina marble takes center stage in a narrative that unites nature, community, and contemporary sculpture.<\/p>\n

The Peccia Sculpture School: an open academy for all<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next to the CIS stands the historic Peccia Sculpture School<\/strong><\/a>, founded to make art accessible to everyone: beginners, enthusiasts, and professionals alike. The school offers courses in marble, wood, and metal, as well as drawing, modeling, and art history seminars. It is a place to experiment, learn, and live an artistic experience immersed in the nature of the Upper Valmaggia, with the possibility of renting studio-apartments for a deeper creative journey. In this context too, Cristallina marble becomes a central element, capable of stimulating the creativity of all who approach the world of sculpture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
