Fior di Pesco

Fior di Pesco marble is a unique Italian marble, extracted from the alpine quarries of Forni Avoltri, in the Carnic region. This material, the result of a long geological history, is a tectonic breccia subjected to metamorphism, which has given the rock extraordinary compactness while maintaining a rich and intricate structure. Its delicate tones range from white to gray, with pink, red, and violet accents that emerge from the irregular clasts and sinuous veins. These veins vary from ivory to gray to pink, creating refined interlacing patterns on the surface.

 

Thanks to its ability to reflect light delicately and its aesthetic versatility, Fior di Pesco is ideal for those seeking marble finishes that add a touch of class and uniqueness to any space. Its seasonal extraction, limited by the harsh Alpine winters, further enhances its exclusivity and value.
