ARONTE
VENA COLLECTION
On a splendid spring morning, a mermaid danced gracefully among the crystalline waves, cradled by the sweet sound of the sea. The sight of the imposing mountains, standing as guardians of the sky, irresistibly drew the creature, who felt compelled to climb the highest peaks. With determination, she headed towards the river, swimming until she reached a picturesque gorge.
There, among the rocks and the crystal-clear water, stood a boy of extraordinary beauty, who welcomed her kindly. The melodious voice and warm gaze of the young man deeply struck the creature, who felt irresistibly drawn to him. Between them, a timeless magic was created, which accompanied them for many years, until the relentless passage of time struck the man, while the mermaid maintained her eternal youth.
The mermaid’s mother, who had believed for years that her daughter was dead, instead found her, thanks to a dolphin, beside an elderly man. During the return journey, the mermaid and the dolphin encountered Jupiter, who asked about the creature loved by the mermaid and discovered that the man could no longer walk. Enraged by the abandonment of the mermaid and the end of their love story, he decided to punish her by transforming her, along with the messenger fish, into a marble statue.
Thus, their beauty was immortalized in a magnificent work of art, destined to remain there, on the riverbank, next to the Bridge of Tears, as a symbol of the beauty and sadness of love.

This legend, in 1902, provides the inspiration for the construction, in a remote glacial saddle, of the Aronte Refuge, the oldest and highest in the Apuan Alps. The structure, characterized by pointed arches, becomes a source of inspiration for the design of its inserts expertly produced and composed of marble.
Marble
Marble
Heavy and majestic, indeed marble was difficult to extract, and that of the “quarryman” was a very risky job, then as now. The stone was cut by hand with mallets and chisels, trying to exploit the natural veins of the rock. Wedges were inserted into the fissures thus created, which, when watered, assisted the stone in detaching from the side of the mountain.
Marble is a stone that can present itself in the most unexpected guises, just like personalities. From classic white, where veins and different patterns are found, to shades of red, green, black, yellow, gray, pink, and purple. The veins are long and sinuous, easily traversing the stone, depicting sought-after and elegant characteristics conferred to every application.
They originate from the metamorphic process of elements and minerals, which are recrystallized due to high temperatures and unbearable pressures. This is the process that leads to the transformation of rock into marble. Thus, colors become representations of splendor, brilliance as well as solidity and sophistication.
Thanks to the sacrifice and perseverance of its master craftsmen, Vodivì manages to animate a hard, cold, and heavy material, and transform it into a soft, warm, and graceful creation capable of reminding every day that even the seemingly most inaccessible rock can be reached and shaped.
