Between History and Modernity: Pietra Tiburtina Collection by Casalgrande Padana

The new Pietra Tiburtina tile collection replicates the typical shades and effects of travertine...

Precious Italian heritage, full of charm and history, comes to life in the porcelain tiles of the new Pietra Tiburtina collection, achieving a perfect balance between design, craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation. Stone fragments emerge from the caves of ancient Tibur, taking us on a journey through history. The ancient Romans used travertine – or lapis tiburtinus, as they called it – as a decorative and construction material. Centuries later, this natural stone has retained its unlimited potential, inspiring artists and architects of every era.

The new Pietra Tiburtina collection by Casalgrande Padana comes in a vein-cut version, highlighting the layers of limestone lengthwise, and a cross-cut version, available with an antique finish that emphasizes subtle clouds and gives the tiles an aged appearance. Both editions combine the charm of stone with the strength of porcelain stoneware. Delicate earthy shades, beautiful stripes, and a three-dimensional play of light and shadow give these tiles a texture full of charm and elegance.

An ode to the beauty and potential of travertine, this collection becomes a canvas for architects and interior designers to unleash their creativity. The Pietra Tiburtina collection draws inspiration from the finest types of travertine found in nature and is available in four colors (Aventino, Campidoglio, Celio, and Palatino) and various formats and finishes.

Pietra Tiburtina tiles fit into any style, making them perfect for interior and exterior floors and walls of any architectural project. They can be used in residential and public buildings, as well as in the hospitality, healthcare, and wellness sectors, bringing to life the vision of contemporary living.

These tiles can also be used to create exclusive furniture, partition walls, countertops, cabinets, sinks, shower stalls, shelves, and tables. The large formats can be combined with other Casalgrande Padana collections to create a mixed style or a cohesive, seamless look.
