#TerracottaRestoration

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.

The article describes the intervention by artisan Davide Incredibile, who performed a cleaning and treatment on a Spanish terracotta floor in a prestigious apartment in Piazza Navona. Thanks to Marbec products and the artisan’s skill, the floor has gained a timeless beauty and elegance. The treatment included the use of IDROWIP for pre-installation protection, VIACEM for descaling cleaning, ANTISTAIN for stain protection, PALLADIUM for a uniform finish, and IDROFIN MATT for a satin appearance. This intervention perfectly exemplifies how the combination of professionalism and high-quality products can enhance the historic spaces of Rome.
