Already cited by the illustrious architect Giorgio Vasari in 1568, and mentioned by the great Dante Alighieri in the Inferno (XV, 63), Pietra Serena is a particular variety of gray sandstone. A highly esteemed noble material, it has been used for centuries, especially for the creation of sculptures and ornamental elements in prestigious buildings. In the past, Pietra Serena was most widespread in Tuscany, particularly in the Florence area, and it also became popular in other contexts: the historic buildings of Bologna, for instance, feature splendid thresholds and entire staircases with steps made of this beautifully worked and finished material.

Grain and various colors
Gray Elegance with Natural Shine and Homogeneous Texture
Pietra Serena, in terms of appearance and material, is particularly recognizable for its grain, which ranges from medium-fine to coarse. The texture is homogeneous and is characterized by tiny sparkling dots attributed to small flakes of mica, a mineral named for its shine (the term derives from the Latin “micare,” meaning “to shine”). Finally, the color of our Pietra Serena is elegantly gray.
