Travertine is an excellent material for indoor and outdoor floor and wall coverings. Thanks to its honeycomb structure and naturally antique appearance, it lends relevance to modern furniture and design elements.
The word 'travertine' comes from the Latin lapis tiburtinus, stone of Tibur, the ancient name of the city of Tivoli, in Lazio, home to important quarries.
The use of travertine, like that of many limestone materials, dates back to antiquity, but thanks to the monuments of imperial Rome and through the ingenuity of Michelangelo and Bernini, its historical significance is very high.
