pietra piegata Explanation: I would leave this term in Italian. It refers to a specific Italian technique in marble working(many hits on Google, Dogpile). In American retail the term is left in Italian. At most you could use "molded marble" or "shaped marble", but the Italian is more accurate. I definitely wouldn't use "stone", as this technique refers specifically to marble. |
