Botticino white marble is one of the most renowned Italian stone products. Due to its undoubted aesthetic qualities as well as its excellent technical characteristics, Botticino white marble has been extracted for more than two thousand years and used for works and constructions of various kinds.
The name of Botticino white marble is due to the place of extraction of this stone, namely in Botticino: a municipality in the Brescia area in Lombardy. Also, in the surrounding area of the municipality of Botticino there are quarries of marmo Botticino bianco, in particular in the municipalities of Nuvolento, Nuvolera, Rezzato, Serle. The aesthetic peculiarities of Botticino white marble, in fact, vary significantly depending on the quarry and the block extracted.
As anticipated, Botticino bianco is an extremely compact material and its porosity (as well as its absorption values) make it a suitable marble for outdoor applications. Other technical data such as resistance to compression and wear make Botticino white marble a highly requested product in the building field.
Even if the most iconic variety of marmo Botticino bianco appears to have a warm and delicate beige color, the latter is by no means the only variety or the only shade of Botticino bianco. In fact, the aspects of Botticino white marble can be varied starting from lighter tones such as ivory white. Even the surface of Botticino white marble is characterized by an elegant pattern of veins and inclusions due to the more or less marked presence of fossilized organisms, minerals and other components of organic and inorganic nature.
Resistance to frost and atmospheric agents make Botticino white marble an excellent construction material for outdoor floors or stairs. However, its beauty and chromatic characteristics make Botticino white marble a precious marble that is also widely used in interior design, always for the creation of splendid floors or stairways. Among the other uses of Botticino white marble we point out coverings, window sills, statues and other decorative elements.
