Cottoartigiano
Original italian made manufactured products
On the Via Cassia, between the Veio Park and the territory of Nepi, in a staging post dating from the 1500s, Cottoartigiano has converted some of the rooms into showrooms and others into a workshop for the working of old materials, materials salvaged from old Italian houses and farmhouses.

UNIQUE COVERINGS
The Origin
The terracotta floor and wall coverings are salvaged from various parts of Italy, each in a unique shade.
This is due to the numerous clay quarries scattered along the Apennine slopes down to Sicily.
They keep the base colour of their place of origin such as the red from Emilia and Tuscany, the ochre of Siena, the yellow of north Lazio, the blonde of Campania, the straw yellow of Puglia, the
red purple of Calabria and the citron pink of Sicily. Superimposed on the colours of the clay are the colours of the different firing methods in the numerous kilns in past centuries, unfortunately no longer in existence.
In these kilns the material was fired with a direct flame using wood or the
residual of olive processing.
These procedures, depending on the temperature, completed the shades of the various firings.
The various colour gradations, from brown to yellow, to oxidized green
caused by the oxidation of time are not reproducible today and have inspired us to reuse them to
reproduce the various compositions according to the traditional designs of past centuries.

Elegance
of Wood
Versailles, Fontainbleu, Chantilly, Genoblois, Provence ... the magic names of the composition of wood for flooring in the XVII, XVIII and XIX centuries.
The light and dark coloured French oak,
polished or unpolished, is the material that gives the necessary tone to the great designers for the opulence of their projects in the castles and houses of that era.
So we offer this product studying both the traditional designs and techniques and the
various finishes and colours.
