The „Siena marble“ is a material that comes from the region around Siena in Tuscany, Italy. This marble is known for its characteristic golden or beige base color with striking veins in various shades. „Siena Rosso“ has a reddish color, while „Siena Giallo“ is yellow in color. The variant „Siena Breccia“ is characterized by its marble-like appearance with fragmentary structures.

This particular material has been used in sculpture, architecture, interior design and construction since ancient times.
