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