Travertino di Rapolano

also known as Rapolano Travertine, Travertino di Siena

The travertine of Tuscany: quarried at Rapolano Terme near Siena, this is a noticeably denser and more compact variety than the Tivoli travertines. Smaller voids and a finer vein structure make it easier to fill and finish, while its warm cream and honey tones suit both classical and contemporary contexts.

Good to know

How does Rapolano travertine differ from the Roman travertine of Tivoli?

Rapolano travertine is generally denser and more compact, with finer, tighter voids — easier to fill and giving a smoother surface. Both are warm cream, but Rapolano has a slightly more Tuscan, honey-warm character.

Is it suitable for flooring?

Yes, especially when filled and polished or honed. Its density makes it a good choice for high-traffic interior floors, and it is also specified for facade cladding.
