Peperino Stone

Hi, I'm in Italy at the present time and really love the Peperino stone they use here to accent their homes! It is used primarily,on window sills or thresholds, as well as mantels. I live in Pasadena, California and was wondering if you have this kind of stone or know where I can find it in the States. Any information you can provide me with, would be greatly appreciated! Thank You! Sincerely, Angela De Paolis
 
Dear Angela:
I'm Italian, I lived in Italy the first 36 years of my life, I started foolin' around with stone since I was 15, but I never even heard of such Peperino stone.
Maybe in the part of Italy I come from (Parma - 1 hours South of Milan) it's called with a different name.
Or maybe it's just a local stone they have and use in the part of Italy you're currently visiting...
Where I come from (and in most parts of Italy, to the best of my knowledge) they use mostly White Carrara marble for window sills and thresholds
Sorry... :-(
 
Ciao and good luck,
Maurizio Bertoli
