In the rolling hills of Valpolicella, Northern Italy, Santamargherita pays homage to its origins by capturing the natural beauty and atmospheric tones of the region in one of its most evocative SM Marble colors: Rosa del Garda. Its base is a delicate blush pink, softened and enriched by a network of peach and apricot tones that appear like reflections on water. These subtle variations mimic the complexity of Lake Garda, adding both contrast and depth. Complemented by soft, golden light, this color stands beautifully with its range of hues and character.

In architectural applications, Rosa del Garda completes designs with a sophisticated and classical feel. Its color composition captures the radiant flush of blossoming rose petals kissed by the sun. Integrated into the surface are apricot undertones that enhance the surrounding blush, which, in turn, complements adjacent walls and furniture. Pictured in the kitchen, as seen above, Rosa del Garda appears in both sleek, polished surfaces and textured finishes, making the material dynamic by design. This inherent quality allows the colors to shift with the light throughout the day, pairing beautifully with soft white or beige cabinetry. Deeper tonal variations introduce an organic quality to the space, mirroring natural stone formations.

The Inciso textures add a distinctive touch to a variety of design styles and functional spaces. Offered in three Inciso styles, Spaccato, Rigato, and Ondulato, each texture enhances the material’s interaction with light and shadow. Ondulato, in particular, undulates with a steady rhythm, flowing with grooves that introduce movement. Its colors encapsulate the picturesque fields of the Italian countryside during the golden hour.

Rosa del Garda, whether exhibited in a sleek, polished finish or intricately carved into an Inciso texture, remains a color that reflects a deep love and appreciation for the origins of Santamargherita in Northern Italy. This distinctive hue draws inspiration from the breathtaking scenery of Lake Garda and the historic stoneworking traditions of Valpolicella, a region renowned for its centuries-old expertise in marble and craftsmanship. This color preserves the beauty of the region and continues to shape the natural palette of many interior spaces.
