Description
A magmatic rock present in areas where there has been volcanic activity. Piperno is a lithified rock that is characterized by the orientation of lenticular concentrations of grey color, called flames, immersed in a matrix of the same color but lighter. While not easy to extract, some underground separation allow large blocks to be removed. Piperno is resistant to the wear and tear of atmospheric agents and for this reason it has been widely used for the cladding of buildings in Naples
