Perlatino di Sicilia and the Hassan II mosque

years ago, about 7, I was just in Casablanca where I had the opportunity to visit some of the customers of our company.

I decided to take a hotel close to a massive secure structure that often left catch my attention while escorting me around the various company representatives, you know traveling alone you always try some reference to your own home, albeit unconsciously.

Here I am at the hotel at boulevard Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah, on which overlooked the Hassan II mosque the more the Morocco and only the third in size in the world than that of Mecca.

The sleepless night, would you like to look for the heat or the excitement of being in that place near where, familiar scents and antique items, intertwined, a light through the mesh inlaid of my window of the hotel room like a recall and so began the litany of night call to prayer.

The light, I discovered the laser beacon pointing towards Mecca and affacciandomi on the spectacle of lights and smells of the ocean, I find it impressive and elegant façade of the mosque is just our marble: the "PERLATINO DI SICILIA”.

Protects the structure from external agents mainly from salt and at the same time, the color blends with the stylish interior leaving a harmony of colors that make the place a prayer worship.

So staying to observe in the dimness of the light beam dancing between the natural ochre veins of marble and the play of light that discovered the fossils of marble and is his "pearls" I stayed to observe how it is so widely loved the simplicity of a material that evokes that which has within its territory.
