Description
Marca Corona Scultorea Statuario 2″x10″ — Premium Porcelain Subway Tile from Italy
The Marca Corona Scultorea Statuario 2×10 is an Italian marble-look porcelain tile featuring a bright white ground with refined, cool grey veining. Manufactured by Marca Corona in Sassuolo, this rectangle (brick / listello) format is part of the celebrated Scultorea collection — a porcelain tribute to Carrara marble and the Apuan Alps, engineered for the durability of glazed porcelain and the visual depth of natural stone.
About the Scultorea Collection
Scultorea is Marca Corona’s flagship marble-effect porcelain stoneware collection, drawing inspiration from the white marbles that Michelangelo himself sourced from the Apuan Alps. The collection spans large-format slabs up to 120×278 cm down to intimate chevron, hexagon, and brick formats, allowing designers to specify a single material story across floors, walls, and architectural details. Statuario (Vena Argento) is Marca Corona’s tribute to the prized Statuario marble of Carrara — a luminous white porcelain with cool, silvery grey veining that reads crisp and timeless. It is the most classic of the four colorways and a strong default choice for clients who want the look of high-end white marble without the upkeep. Within the Scultorea palette, Statuario pairs especially well with polished chrome, marble countertops, white oak, and crisp white millwork.
Installation & Applications for Statuario 2×10
The 2.5″ x 9.5″ (6×24 cm) brick / listello format gives Scultorea a subway-style proportion at a slightly elongated, more modern scale than a traditional 3×12. The rectified edges support tight grout joints (1.5–2 mm typical) and a wide range of patterns — running bond, stack bond, vertical stack, and herringbone all work well. Recommended applications include kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, shower surrounds, powder room accents, and laundry / mudroom walls. The size and rectified edges also make this a strong candidate for a herringbone pattern when paired with a complementary Scultorea hexagon floor.
