Sestino tradizionale
Sesino tradizionale is commonly used for outdoor paving in pedestrian and light traffic areas, in which the designer would like to create a sort of ancient-like context. It consists of small tiles (“smolleri”) with lower and upper natural cleft surface and split edges. They are laid on cement mortar on aligned joints; it is for their variable width that there is a sort of recall to historic paving overall.
