Cave Collection
Sculptural essence of the material
A journey to rediscover Italy and its beauty
Our research with Paesaggi Italiani continues, moving beyond well-known landmarks to explore the world of geology.
With Cave Collection, we venture into the very core of our mountains, uncovering the materials they are made of and capturing their unique colours and textures.

Inspiring Cave
Italian taste
Our journey begins in the valley at the foot of Tivoli—ancient Tibur—between the Via Tiburtina and the River Aniene, where Roman Travertine has been quarried for centuries.
We explore the Barco Quarries, first opened by the Romans in the 3rd century BC, whose stone helped shape the monuments and architecture that still define the city of Rome today.
Lapis Tiburtinus, the stone of Tivoli, is a porous, calcareous marble with elegant striations. Its natural cavities, formed along irregular veins, are enhanced by a polishing process that preserves the raw beauty of the material.
Travertine is a silent, warm stone—deeply familiar to our artistic and cultural heritage.
