The work of artisan
An old marble staircase can gradually lose its shine due to foot traffic, scratches, dull areas and small damaged sections that develop over time. However, when the material is still structurally sound, a professional restoration process can restore the surface’s visual appeal without replacing the original marble. In this project carried out in the historic center of Pistoia in Italy, EcoTecnologia di Pulitura by Orsucci Paolo repaired the damaged sections and professionally polished a marble staircase. The surface regained a more uniform, brighter and refined appearance.
Over time, even a high-quality teak deck can lose its original color and uniform appearance due to constant exposure to sunlight, rain, humidity, and weathering. As a result, the wood gradually turns grey and begins to show clear signs of surface deterioration. In this restoration project carried out in Florence, Italy, Pippolo Company by Timpano Giuseppe fully restored an outdoor teak decking surface through a professional process of cleaning, wood regeneration, and protective treatment. The final result brought back the warm, even, and natural appearance of the teak.
Inside a residential complex in Lucca, in Italy, an outdoor travertine staircase showed clear signs of advanced deterioration. Over time, constant exposure to rain, humidity and weather conditions led to heavy contamination from algae, mould and biological buildup. As a result, the surface became dark, uneven and slippery. Consequently, both aesthetics and safety declined. In cases like this, simple cleaning does not solve the issue. Instead, professionals need a structured craft restoration process, carried out with care and precision. EcoTecnologia di Pulitura by Orsucci Paolo handled the intervention. The company specialises in the professional restoration of natural stone surfaces.
In the historic center of Pistoia, Italy, inside a charming period building, a handmade antique terracotta floor underwent a highly specialized restoration process. At first glance, the surface looked heavily compromised. An old treatment had deteriorated over time and made the terracotta dark, uneven, and difficult to read. Therefore, simple cleaning was not enough. Instead, the situation required a precise technical intervention carried out by professionals who truly understand the material. For this reason, the work was carried out by Pippolo Company by Timpano Giuseppe, a company specialized in the professional restoration of historic terracotta floors.
Rust stains on floors are a common issue, especially on outdoor surfaces. These yellowish marks can affect the appearance of stone materials and are often difficult to remove without the right treatment. In many cases, the cause is linked to everyday activities such as garden care. The use of fertilizers and lawn treatments can lead to rust formation due to the presence of iron sulfate. When it comes into contact with moisture, it oxidizes and leaves persistent stains on surfaces. During a project in Italy, in the city of Empoli, MG Service Company handled this exact issue. The team worked on stone surfaces affected by deep rust stains, which required a precise and professional approach to remove them without damaging the material.
The cleaning of outdoor Tuscan cotto in Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy involved the floor of a villa set in the Tuscan countryside. The surface was made of handmade cotto and was heavily affected by mould, lichens, moss and darkening. Over time, constant exposure to the weather and the high porosity of the material accelerated the deterioration of the surface. For this reason, a targeted artisan intervention on outdoor Tuscan cotto was needed. The work was carried out by DELTA Special Applications with the goal of restoring the floor without changing its original appearance or material character.
The company Pippolo carried out a complete treatment on an outdoor black concrete floor, with the goal of protecting it from weathering and preserving its appearance over time.

Finally, a finishing product was applied, giving the concrete a matte, enhanced look that is resistant to rain, sun, and dirt. The result is a surface that is enhanced, protected, and easy to maintain.
