Material

Portoro or Portovenere marble is a precious variety of black marble from the western area of ​​the Gulf of La Spezia.

The Nero Portoro marble is a refined Italian marble with a classic appearance, already widely used in Roman times, especially for temples, imperial villas and decorative objects.

Also known as Portovenere marble, it is extracted in the province of La Spezia. The extraction of this marble is very limited, which makes it even more exclusive.
Materials similar to Nero Portoro are also extracted in China and Santo Domingo, but the slabs do not have the same intensity of black, nor the brilliance of the golden veins that characterize Italian marble, making it one of a kind.
In Roman times, Portoro marble was widely used in imperial villas and was probably also used in the construction of the Roman temple that stood at the end of the promontory of Porto Venere and above which the church of San Pietro was later built.

Elegant and valuable, it has a remarkable resistance and is easy to clean thanks to its surface capable of limiting the absorption of dirt and humidity.
