Pilastro mod. Martinengo

The Martinengo Pillar (Art. 818) is a complete modular decorative pillar system crafted from agglomerated cement composed of Carrara marble granules and white cement RCK 52.5. Reaching a total height of 265 cm (104.3 in) — sphere excluded — and a total weight of 651 kg (1,435 lbs), this pillar makes a commanding architectural statement at entrances, gates, villas, and prestigious residential properties. Each element is hand-finished by skilled artisans at Italpark Srl in Borgo San Giacomo, Brescia, continuing a tradition of artigianale production since 1968.

The system is built by stacking four distinct components. The foundation is the Art. 811/B Base (h 36 cm / 14.2 in, 39×39 cm / 15.4×15.4 in, 87 kg / 192 lbs), providing a solid, smooth-faced platform. Above it, multiple Art. 811/C Martinengo Bush-Hammered Elements (h 24 cm / 9.4 in, 37×37 cm / 14.6×14.6 in, 50 kg / 110 lbs each) create a striking textural contrast with their hand-finished bush-hammered surface set against the smooth base below. The composition is crowned by the Art. 818/E Martinengo Capital (h 46 cm / 18.1 in, 49×49 cm / 19.3×19.3 in, 86 kg / 190 lbs), a generously profiled capital that delivers a strong architectural effect. As a finishing touch, the Art. 818/F Sphere (Ø 16 cm / 6.3 in, 6 kg / 13.2 lbs) completes the silhouette with refined elegance. All components share an internal bore of Ø 18–20 cm (7.1–7.9 in).

The Martinengo Pillar is available in 11 surface finishes, allowing seamless integration with a wide range of architectural styles, from classic Italian villa aesthetics to contemporary garden design. Being exclusively decorative, it is ideal for framing driveways, flanking entrance gates, or defining the perimeter of formal gardens and private estates. All elements are rifiniti a mano, ensuring consistent quality and surface detail across every piece.

To preserve the natural beauty of the Carrara marble granule surface, periodic treatment with a transparent water-repellent impregnating sealer is recommended. This simple maintenance routine protects the material from weathering, moisture absorption, and surface staining, keeping the pillar's finish pristine over time.
