The extension of the basins for the excavation granted to CIMEP covers an area of over 140,000 square meters on two quarries known as “Longarina” and "Bernini". The latter, especially, has a major historic value, because it was one of the quarries that Bernini selected material from to build the famous (colonnato di Piazza S.Pietro ) The Colonnade of St. Peter's Square in Rome in 1500. To such a testimony of what still exists today and is owned by us is called "Casal Bernini, which in the past would have served all workers and technicians as shelter and coordination during the extraction phase and the selection of blocks subsequently used for the construction of the colonnade. The large quantity and high-quality material is still present in its quarries and allows CIMEP continuity of safe production in appreciable time by major construction companies and architectural firms, as well as being a valuable reserve for many years to come for CIMEP. Today the quarries are cultivated with the latest machinery for excavation, transport and final preparation of the blocks, marketed in Italy and abroad with an increasing trend of requesting the raw materials sooner. From our quarries we extract the following types of Italian Roman Travertine:
