The pavement under the porticoes of “Via Pieroni” is being re-layed in a quite complicated way, called “Palladiana” (Palladian flooring).
This technique consists in composing large surfaces of contiguous flooring out of thousands of all differently shaped smaller pieces of marble.See also: Porticoes

These are great VP. Love them.
It is a lovely pattern and very eye-appealing; I'd hate to have to be the one applying the tiles!
A job requiring much patience VP, so probably not for me! Only a little more to go and it will look fabulous!
That is a great design.
The workmen must either hate or love the challenge of this "puzzle."
I've never seen modern pavement like this. It comes out beautiful.
beautiful work !
This is really cool! SO beautiful and intricate... I can't imagine how much work goes into laying these. :)
Nice pattern!
That's going to look fantastic!
Lots of work put in to this.
Loos very pretty, even now.
I bet it takes a while to lay that!
Spectacular, VP. I wonder how masons are trained to lay such a complicated yet seemingly random pattern.
It's great watching this kind of work in progress.
Lots of work there! I love the first shot, beautiful detail!

Bello il gioco di forme e toni di grigio! Ciao, Arianna
Can't remember seeing something like this before.
