Travertino Romano
Roman Travertine or Classical Travertine is the most famous material in the world, used as early as the time of the Roman Empire by the greatest rulers. Works such as the Colosseum (79 A.D.) and St. Peter's Basilica (1506 A.D.) are testament to the material's ability to last. The material, which is quarried in the Tivoli areas, is fine-grained, generally quite porous, and can have different background shades of straw, hazelnut, or white, evenly shaded with darker-colored veins. The material is suitable for both interior and exterior laying.
