Hello all, We are an English couple recently moved from Blighty to North Tuscany (Fivizzano, Lunigiana) and are restoring a 1920s villa. We desperately need two different types of floor tile. Firstly, traditional (antique, rough looking) cotto tiles 20x20. Secondly, we need a slightly posher look - a florentine art deco/nouveau design for our dining room etc. We have looked everywhere and these are either very expensive or non-existent. I thought Italy was the home of tiles?! Any advice, tips, names and preferably websites would be most greatly appreciated. Cheerio. Juliet and Peter

Hi, try a trip to Sassoulo, there are many many tile factories and many are open to the public.
