Hello ...

we need opinions from some english speaking people.

we must translate our slogan ( we're italian )
into english, but we're not sure about it.

our slogan is "Materiali che fanno storia", that is,
literally, "materials that make history".

We're speaking about marbles. We're referring
to their very long history ( from the Aztech, Rome, to
nowadays ! ), and we must communicate that
these materials still keep "to make history" today
and that they will continue in future too.

so, we tought about
"Materials continuing to make history".

is it understandable ? will the people get it ?
is it "correct" ?

Thank you very much for your contribute,
we'd appreciate comments, alternatives, etc.

Lyn.

Hello Lynda,
I would suggest "Marble, still making history."

While it's a bit slangish, "The Stuff Of Which History Is Made" has a
certain ring to it -- It's like using "a day that will live in infamy"
in your ad campaign.
