About Giallo Veneziano
Giallo Veneziano is a classic among the warm granites. The colour lies between cream, ochre, beige and golden brown, joined by a medium to somewhat coarser grain image that gives the stone its typical, slightly lively effect. Unlike heavily veined materials, Giallo Veneziano works not with figuring but with texture. That is precisely why it can be used so versatilely in kitchens, stairs, window sills and external applications.
The stone comes from Brazil and has long been listed as a granite in the market. Petrographically it is sometimes described as a gneissic dimension stone, but in project practice the trade classification as granite remains the correct reference. Compared with Colonial White, Giallo Veneziano appears warmer and grainier; compared with yellowish limestones, considerably more robust and more suited to everyday use. For classic kitchens and bright architecture with a little warmth this is a very usable material.
Technically, Giallo Veneziano lies in the range of a good granite. Public figures state a bulk density of about 2,630 kg/m³, water absorption of around 0.39 %, compressive strength of 147.9 MPa and flexural strength of 9.46 MPa. This makes the stone clearly suitable for kitchens, stairs and many external applications. Acids play a considerably smaller role in everyday use than with marble, and frost resistance is not a fundamental problem either with clean construction.
The surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down. At ROSSITTIS, Giallo Veneziano is available as a raw slab, in tiles, as a kitchen worktop, window sill, tread and riser, skirting and for further made-to-measure interior and external applications. For very reduced minimal spaces it is often too warm; for classic residential and commercial applications, on the other hand, it is distinctly practical.
The honest assessment: Giallo Veneziano is not a spectacular design stone and not a material for severe, monochrome concepts. Its strength lies in dependability, warmth and everyday suitability. That is exactly what it has been valued for over the years.

Guide values for the stone type, taken from manufacturer and test reports. Natural stone is a natural product — individual batches and slabs can differ. For critical applications, request slab-specific test data.
Giallo Veneziano is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Polished
Polishing is the most classic finish in the hard stone segment — a mirror-smooth, high-gloss surface with the highest possible colour intensity and maximum depth effect in the mineral structure. As an acid-resistant silicate stone, polished granite is easy to care for and the first choice for kitchen worktops, wall claddings and prestigious exposed surfaces.
Bush-hammered + satin-honed
Bush-hammering gives the surface an evenly grained appearance, which is then refined by brushing. A level but grippy character with a matt appearance. Slip-resistant and also suitable for outdoor areas — a craftsmanlike finish with a characterful feel for steps, plinths and heavily used floor areas.
Flamed + brushed once
The surface is roughened by heat and brushed once to smooth sharp-edged mineral residues and remove loose material. The feel is somewhat gentler than purely flamed, it remains slip-resistant, and the colour is less intense than polished. The standard choice for outdoor areas, terraces and heavily used floor areas.
Care & fabrication
Giallo Veneziano is easy to care for, but should nevertheless be sealed on kitchen worktops and lighter polished surfaces. This helps against oil, coffee and other staining agents.
pH-neutral natural stone cleaners are sufficient for cleaning and care. On warm light surfaces, grease films, limescale and metal abrasion should be removed regularly.
Abrasives and aggressive specialist chemicals do not make sense. The rock itself is robust, but the surface and joints reward matter-of-fact care.
Outdoors, the choice of surface, drainage and proper installation matter more than additional chemical care.
Frequently asked questions
Is Giallo Veneziano suitable for the kitchen?
Yes. With around 2,630 kg/m³ bulk density, 147.9 MPa compressive strength and about 0.39 % water absorption, Giallo Veneziano is clearly kitchen-capable.
Where does Giallo Veneziano come from?
Giallo Veneziano comes from Brazil and is one of the classic warm granites on the international market.
Is Giallo Veneziano really granite?
In the trade, yes. Petrographically the material is sometimes described as gneissic, but in project practice it is clearly listed as a granite.
Which surface suits Giallo Veneziano?
The surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Giallo Veneziano or Colonial White?
Colonial White is lighter and cooler, Giallo Veneziano warmer and more classically grainy. Technically both are very serviceable hard stones.
What does Giallo Veneziano cost?
The price depends on the batch, thickness, surface finish and fabrication — with natural stone there is no serious flat rate per square metre. Business customers see prices once their B2B account is activated; private customers receive a complete quote through a fabricator near them.
