Marble mosaics

Technique Stone materials like marble are very common in Italy. Costs are relatively low, given the many quarries in the country. Marble’s technical and aesthetic properties make it very popular, including in mosaics. This is due to its unique color shades, strength, and the possibility of being smoothed and polished. Its weight makes it suitable for floor mosaics. What distinguishes marble is the way it breaks when cut with a marteline.

Production 1) A lime binder that must be kept constantly wet is used to assemble marble tiles. 2) The tiles then rest and once the lime is dried, the entire piece is moved on supports that differ according to the needs.
