Italy · Sandstone
also known as Bedonia Sandstone, Macigno di Bedonia, Apennine Grey Sandstone
A cool grey sandstone (macigno apenninico) from Bedonia in the Parma Apennines. Sharing the muted grey palette and exterior durability of the Tuscan sandstone family, Pietra di Bedonia is used for garden paving, exterior facades, and architectural detailing — valued in northern Italy and Switzerland for its low visual noise and natural weathering behaviour.
Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
Related but distinct: both are Apennine grey sandstones, but Bedonia is quarried in Emilia-Romagna (Parma), while Pietra Serena comes from the Florentine Apennines (Tuscany). Bedonia tends to be slightly coarser and lighter in tone.
