Rosso Ammonitico Veronese

also known as Red Ammonitico, Verona Red Marble, Ammonitico Rosso

A celebrated Jurassic nodular limestone from the Veronese and Trentino foothills, instantly recognizable by its deep red to burgundy ground studded with white ammonite fossil sections and cream calcite veining. Used by the Romans and in countless historic Italian buildings, it remains one of the most dramatic accent stones available from Italian quarries.

Good to know

Is Rosso Ammonitico the same as Rosso di Verona?

They are related but distinct stones from the same geological belt. Rosso Ammonitico is a nodular Jurassic limestone with visible ammonite fossils; Rosso di Verona is a broader commercial name covering several red limestone varieties from the region.

Where is it used in architecture?

Accent columns, feature walls, staircase risers, fireplace surrounds, and decorative flooring. Its distinctive colour and fossil patterning make it best as an accent rather than a field stone.
