Biancone Veronese

also known as Biancone di Verona, Verona White Limestone

A pale, nearly white Cretaceous limestone from the Lessini Mountains above Verona — one of the historic building stones of the Veneto region. Biancone Veronese presents a clean, even surface with minimal fossil inclusions, offering a cool architectural alternative to whiter marbles at lower cost and with better exterior credentials.

Good to know

Is Biancone Veronese the same as Pietra di Vicenza?

No — they are distinct formations from the Veneto limestone belt. Biancone is whiter and comes from the Lessini plateau; Pietra di Vicenza (Chiampo area) has a warmer cream-yellow tone.
