Company: Henraux is one of the most prestigious marble quarrying and processing companies in the world. Its founder was Jean Baptiste Alexandre Henraux, who traveled the countryside with Napoleon’s troops with the mission of finding marble for the planned monuments in France. A year after his inspection in the Apuan Alps, he returned there and founded the Henraux company on January 20, 1821, together with an Italian partner. As early as 1845, the company received its first major order, from the Tsar of Russia. Later, Auguste Rodin was also a frequent guest at the company’s Querceta headquarters. Michelangelo had also praised the quality of those marbles during his explorations in the area: the stone is “of uniform grain, homogeneous, crystalline and reminds of sugar.“ The mountain is “filled with marble until the Day of Judgment,“ he concluded.
