Extracted in Italy in the municipalities of Portovenere and La Spezia, the Nero Portoro marble is naturally elegant. The name derives from Portorose (golden door) due to its golden yellow streaks. In Roman times, Portoro marble was widely used in imperial villas. Used by the Genoese in the construction of a fort on the western promontory of the Gulf of La Spezia, it also spread outside of Liguria, particularly in France, to decorate buildings such as Versailles. In the early 1900s it was also exported to the United States where, for example, it dressed the screening room at Paramount.
