In Abruzzo you can by old bricks and other materials from a yard in CEPAGATTI nr Cheiti Scalo .The man to call is CESARE and his mobile is 3392169275.Our builder says the new bricks used on the floor are not as strong and as the old ones cost less I'd go for these.Whatever you do dont buy the really messy ones as it will take forever to remove the cement or lime.Pay more for cleaner bricks!Every town would have made its own bricks from local materials so there is a variety of colours and firing marks unique to each place.It makes me sad to see people smashing up old brick or brick floors then laying something cheap from Castorama just so they can get a 'level floor'.
