Classico Gold Travertine: the complete guide

History and origin

Classic travertine is an emblematic stone of Roman and Renaissance architecture, used for centuries for floors, façades and grand staircases. The Classico Gold variant, widely available on the international market, stands out for a warmer, honey-like hue. It is suitable both for country houses and work in historic settings and for contemporary interiors. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is honey beige with golden and hazelnut hues. The bands are subtle and the cavities can be filled or left open. Variation between slabs is moderate; honed, it looks elegant and uniform, while tumbled and brushed finishes evoke ancient paving.

Recommended uses

Perfect for interior and exterior floors, façades, stairs, bathrooms, terraces and pools. Avoid it on kitchen worktops, where stains and acids leave traces.

Care and maintenance

Protect with an impregnator and clean with neutral detergents. Refill any cavities that reopen over time. Outdoors, low-pressure cleaning removes dirt and moss without damaging the stone.
