This type of Italian marble was fully appreciated by the architect Cesar Pelli who, after having used it for important projects of architecture and design, buildings such as the Winter Garden in New York, described its characteristics with the following words: “. . .the Fior di Pesco Carnico matches all the other types of marble… I wanted a type of marble that would go with green, red, orange and the Fior di Pesco Carnico matches well since it contains shades of all these colours…”.
