WHITE TRAVERTINE
Italy is
the origin of the culture of travertine, with its ancient buildings made with
this historical stone, such as the Colosseum or the St. Peter Basilica both in
the city of Rome. Being the quarries in the Guidonia area and Tivoli, very near
of the “center of the civilization”, it was widely used for all the public and
private buildings made not only in the ancient Rome, but also in the churches,
fountains and palazzos built during centuries, all of them can be admired now.

stripes can be described, but in this report we are going to talk about one of
