THE MATERIAL
Pietra serena is a light greyish-blue sandstone particularly suitable for use in the architectural field and also in sculpture. Already known at the time of the Etruscans, Pietra Serena is an essential element of Tuscan architecture. Indeed, most of the ancient historic town centres in the region are paved with this material, and it reached the height of its popularity in Renaissance art, particularly in Florence. Today this natural stone lends itself to countless uses, adapting perfectly to complement any interior or exterior design. Its hardiness and the fact that it is easy to process are another two good reasons for its popularity.
