Scagliola 
This decorative technique, already used by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, imitates marble and hard-stone inlay with a high degree of precision. Its smooth, glossy finish replicates that of the most sought-after marbles. 
The method, known since antiquity, was commonly practised from the 15th century onwards in Germany, Austria and the Lombardy region. It flourished particularly in Emilia, due to the lack of marble quarries in the region, and in response to the high cost of marble inlays imported from the Opificio delle Pietre Dure workshops, founded by the Medici family in Florence. 
In the early 17th century, in the Carpi region (Emilia-Romagna), the first examples of Italian scagliola appeared; its invention is attributed to Guido Fassi around 1610.
