The architects of the early Renaissance in Florence preferred to have architectural
items in varying sizes whose frames repeated.
What type of stone did the Florence architects use to make their geometric
frames and finishings and why?

Pietra Serena stone was selected. Pietra Serena means “calm stone” in
Italian. Pietra Serena with its dark color and homogeneous texture becomes the
material of framings in order to create contrast with white plaster and
strengthen the affect of architectural form and order.
Pietraforte stone was selected, because it was strong, had a color that would turn
light brown over time, and it developed interesting textures for the rough center.
Also, its strength meant that Pietraforte could be used in features that could take
a lot of weight.
Pietra Serena stone was selected to make the geometric framings of Florence
