MARBLE STATUES, SCULPTURES, & ARTISTIC REPRODUCTIONS FOR GARDENS

                                                                        RED MARBLE FROM VERONA

The rocks in the Verona area have their origins as sediments which accumulated in the sea bed which once covered the whole Italian peninsula.
Because of the pressure, sediments which accumulated became more and more compact and the chemical actions of salt in the water caused  their cementation.

Red marble from Verona, also known as "Rosso
Ammomico", owes its name to the presence of shells in the various layers which were extinct by the end of the Mesozoic era.  This gives the red marble of Verona an average age of 160 million years and establishes it at the end of the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic era.
