Imagine being
able to transcend time and place and create concrete driveways, sidewalks and patios that capture the look
of natural stone from historical regions around the world. That was the inspiration
behind the new Paladiano "Wonders of the World" line of stamping
tools, which are cast from natural stones from 28 different cities, including Athens, Paris, Barcelona, and Venice. Read on to learn what makes these stamps truly extraordinary and
how you can use them to give your concrete pavements a timeless, Old World look. 
Bob Harris of The Decorative Concrete
Institute, along with business partners from Ideal Work of Italy and a team of
more than 45 people went far and wide to search out the most authentic stone textures
and shapes for their Paladiano stamp line, which was inspired by the classic Palladian style of 15th
century Italian architect Andrea Palladio. "In
creating the stamps, we obtained copies of more than 450 textures from 33 different types of
natural stone, including granite, limestone and marble." says Harris.
