Distilleria Zanin has renovated an abandoned silkworm farm in Zugliano, near Vicenza (Italy), in collaboration with another Italian company, FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti. The project involved restoration of an industrial complex of historic importance to the town and conversion for use as Zanin's new distillery and sales office. FMG supplied all the flooring materials in the production and sales areas, offices and conference rooms.

Architect Roberto Munaretto came up with a plan involving demolition of the old industrial building, in very poor condition and no longer suitable for use, and restoration of the historic building dating back to 1860.

The choice of FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti flooring materials demonstrated respect for the original historic structure in the old building: the conference room, with its imposing wooden roof, the sales rooms, the shop and the offices feature Lipica dorato naturale in the 60x60 cm size, while the company museum with its barrel vault ceilings and the underground events area, with its cross vaults, feature Pietra di Gerusalemme burattata 60x30 cm floor tiles. The storage areas and production and bottling lines featuring particularly wear-resistant flooring materials capable of bearing high loads: Cristal 20x20 cm and Valeggio 40x40 cm tiles were used in the production plant.
