STONE MANHOLE

A stone manhole cover , beautiful in its classic style. This is one of the hallmarks of stone, even in flooring: it lends a space a classic, distinctive feel. It's precisely the thickness of this material that lends the floor a bold, distinctive touch. This magnificent manhole cover comes from the street of a small Tuscan town.

Imagine, it dates back to the 1800s. Two thoughts spontaneously come to mind when you hear this statement: the first is amazement that such an ancient manhole cover has survived to this day in perfect condition and still functioning. The second thought that comes to mind is the image of all the people who must have walked over it. Perhaps, without realizing it, we are exhibiting an ancient stone manhole cover that has seen great figures in Italian history walk over it.

Perhaps Lorenzo the Magnificent visited this very Tuscan town and walked its streets... who knows!
