Italy · Limestone
also known as Apricena Grey, Pietra di Apricena
A cool, consistently grey limestone from the Apricena quarry district in northern Puglia, one of Italy's most ancient and productive stone belts. Dense, durable and widely used in Italian public architecture, exterior cladding and hardscape, from contemporary facades to urban paving.
Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
Yes. It is one of Italy's most specified exterior limestones: dense, low-absorption and reliably even in tone, tested across decades in public buildings and urban infrastructure.
Both are Puglian limestones but with different characters: Pietra di Trani is a warmer cream-beige fossil limestone, while Grigio Apricena is a cooler, more uniform grey — the go-to for contemporary grey-palette architecture.
