History and origins of Rosso Verona marble
Rosso Verona marble, also known as Rosso Di Verona and Rossa Verona, is a type of high-quality red and pink marble present near Verona in North Italy. Its unique colour and patterns make it a popular choice among homeowners for interior design projects.
The marble comprises limestone and comes from a specific form called the Rosso Ammonitico Veronese, which is part of a more significant rock formation called the Trento Plateau. Verona marble formed during the Middle Jurassic period, a time in Earth’s history known for producing marvellous natural marbles.
Verona has many quarries producing valuable stones and marble and has always been a critical centre for decorative marbles; the best known is Rosso di Verona marble, which you can see in all parts of the Veneto and the lagoons.
Red Verona marble was often used for paving because of its lively patterns and contrasting colours. It was also used in the form of decorative inlays on façades and sometimes for individual pieces of sculpture; an example of the latter is the monumental fireplace designed by Vittoria for Palazzo Irevisan at Murano. “Rosso di Verona” is tough but has a pronounced grain, making it more complex to shape than other marbles. However, its warm, rich colour has always made it highly prized as a polished sculptural stone. With a high polish, deep crimson hue and pinkish colours result from the elements over millennia.
Today, Rosso Verona marble worktops are prevalent in residential and commercial spaces such as the Hotel Indigo Verona, Grand Hotel Des Arts and Borgo Romantico Boutique Hotel in Cavaion Veronese.

Rosso Verona marble is a robust natural stone that resists scratch marks and smudges. It's a limestone type of crystalline limestone prevalent in high-traffic areas like worktops and floorings. It has high acid and chloride and abrasion resistance to abrasion and impact. In addition, Rosso Verona marble is a natural material with low porosity and easy maintenance and cleaning that lasts longer with sealant protection.
Yes. Rosso Verona marble is suitable for kitchen worktops and other intensive-use areas, such as bathroom and hallway floors. However, it is a porous material that can be easily stained if not sealed properly.
In addition, it's important to remember that marble is a relatively soft stone, and acidic liquids like lemon or orange juice can permanently stain the surface (which can be removed by re-polishing the marble's fascia) if you leave them too long. Therefore, we recommend sealing Rosso Verona marble worktops every 12-24hs to prolong their original look and keep their stunning surface intact for many years.
Yes, variations in colour, veining, and patterns are possible with Rosso Verona marble. Because Rosso Verona marble is a natural stone, each piece is unique and may have variations in hue, texture, and veining. The colour can range from dark red to light pinkish or creamy beige.
The veining and line sizes can also differ, with some pieces having more distinct veining than others. Finally, it is important to remember that lighting and the surrounding environment can influence the colour and pattern of each piece. When choosing Rosso Verona marble for your project, we recommend you look at several samples, see the slabs in person, and select the one that best meets your needs and preferences.
