Bardiglio. This marble has a fine grain and dark grey background crossed with lighter, fine veins which do not impair its homogenous appearance. Bardiglio is extracted in blocks measuring approx 2.50x1.50x1.50m. It is very versatile and used for floors, tiling (interior and exterior), bathrooms, kitchens and urban projects.
