A few months ago, the Italian stone industry circulated a rumor that China had decided to independently purchase the entire stock of the entire Sardinian Orosei marble.

The once-famous natural stone center currently has 22 song quarries with more than 400 employees and an annual mining capacity of 82,000 cubic meters. Orosei marble is a brown stone with a white flaky and light brown textured surface. Due to the growing prosperity of China's construction industry, Chinese architects believe that this kind of marble can best cater to the preferences of the current local rich class. Based on this, the above plan is proposed. The quarry owners in Sardinia are very cautious about this business. On the one hand, I am excited about the possible profits, on the other hand, I am worried that I will rely too much on the Chinese market. Recently, two stone companies from Shanghai and Taiwan have sent relevant personnel to the local quarry for negotiation. The initial order is 50 tons, but the 500-ton order is also being negotiated. The Latium area is a concentration of travertine mining and processing companies, absorbing 950 people. In recent years, exports in the region have deteriorated, especially as a result of terrorist attacks in November 2001 and a weak dollar, which has exacerbated this situation. Exports to Germany, France, and the Arab region have also fallen sharply. The area around Tivoli in 2003 was only 1.2 million tons, compared to nearly 3 million tons in 2000.

Italian stone companies in the region began to boycott low-quality but also low-priced stones from Turkey and Mexico, as mining companies from Tivoli and Guidonia began importing cheap natural stone from Turkey to China a few months ago to earn Spread. These factors of globalization have also affected other stone areas in Italy. It is said that a few months ago, some relatively expensive stone had entered the European countries via the Xiamen area. These stones cost $10 less per cubic meter than in Brescia, Italy.
