From 23 to 26 September 2025 , Verona returns to welcome Marmomac , the most important international exhibition dedicated to natural stone. Now in its 59th edition , the event confirms itself not only as a reference fair for the entire marble supply chain, but also as a cultural and experimental platform where industry, creativity and technology interact without borders.
In an era in which natural materials are called upon to respond to the challenges of sustainability and innovation, Marmomac presents itself as a privileged observatory: four days of exhibitions, installations, conferences and workshops that tell the story of the evolution of stone between millenary tradition and new frontiers such as robotics, artificial intelligence and automation 4.0 .
A city of stone inspired by Le Corbusier
The 2025 layout draws inspiration from Plan Voisin by Le Corbusier, one hundred years after its conception. The exhibition facility thus becomes a real city of contemporary stone , conceived as a narrative journey that intertwines architecture, design, art and industry.
The Veronafiere pavilions will show the entire life cycle of marble: from quarrying to mechanical processing, from the most sophisticated cutting technologies to applications in luxury hospitality, outdoor and interior design .
Technology and sustainability: marble in the future
Marmomac 2025 stages the meeting between artisanal know-how and digital innovation . New technologies – from the use of AI to intelligent automation systems – will be the protagonists of the areas dedicated to processing machines, design software and advanced industrial processes .
Alongside this, there is ample space for reflections on sustainability: marble and natural stones are reinterpreted as durable and recyclable materials, capable of responding to ESG criteria and the demands of a more responsible architecture.
Marmomac Academy and international talks
The fair is not only an exhibition but also a place for training and cultural comparison .
With Marmomac Academy , professionals will have access to accredited seminars for continuing education, recognized internationally.
Among the prominent names of the 2025 cultural program:
-
Yuri Ancarani , who once again presents his famous short film Il Capo , shot in a Carrara quarry, to reflect on the relationship between man and matter.
-
Joseph Grima , with a speech on the role of the “technocraftsman” between manual and digital skills.
-
Davide Fabio Colaci , who reinterprets the thought of Adolf Loos and his “theory against ornamentation” in the light of the new aesthetics of stone.
-
Grazia Signori and Tommaso Simonetta , who explore the multisensory side of matter, between science, perception and sound design.
Exhibitions and installations: pietra as poetic language
In addition to the business area, Marmomac confirms its vocation as a creative laboratory with exhibitions, installations and research projects .
Among the novelties of 2025, the exhibition Fabula Litica: The Enchanted Forest stands out, curated by Giuseppe Fallacara, which sees the involvement of Italian and international universities, research institutes and architecture students. An immersive journey that brings art and science, industry and culture into dialogue.
Marmomac as an international hub
With over 1,500 exhibitors from more than 50 countries and thousands of expected visitors, Marmomac 2025 confirms itself as the main global event for natural stone . The fair is not just a commercial showcase, but a place where architects, designers and companies can preview the trends that will guide the sector in the coming years.
From residential design to hotel design, from contract to large architectural works, marble confirms itself as a material capable of uniting memory and innovation, craftsmanship and industry, aesthetics and technology.
The Marmomac 2025 appointment
Marmomac 2025 is not just a trade fair event, but a manifesto of the future of marble .
In Verona, from 23 to 26 September, the new possibilities of natural stone will be discussed: sustainable, technological, sensorial, increasingly the protagonist of contemporary architecture and interior design projects.
