[[File:streetlayout.jpg|right|thumb|400 px|A typical pavement layout]]
The stone pavements in Venice have great historic value because they've been around for centuries. The supply of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachyte Trachyte] is limited and therefore every [[Paving Stones|stone]] is protected under Italian law. The main components of a Venetian stone pavement layout can be seen in the diagram on the right. [[On the Run|''Corsi'']], known in English as runs, are long vertical columns of stones having the same width but varying lengths. The ''corso'' layout makes up the majority of Venetion street pavement. The border of a street, which runs adjacent to buildings, is refereed to as ''serraggie''. ''Serraggie'' are stones that have been turned 90 degrees, to better fit between the runs and uneven building fronts. When two perpendicular streets meet,the runs have to be reset, this is referred to as ''testa volta''. Occasionally ''corsi'' running in the same direction must be reset in order to retain alignment of the stones, this is referred to as ''Testa Dritta''.

== Paving layouts==
There are several different layout techniques that are seen throughout Venice. They all share some similarities; the main pattern runs along the center of the street while the edges consist of ''serragie'', or stones turned 90° with respect to the rest of the street. This is so that the stones can more easily fill the gap between the straight edge of the regular paving pattern and the (often irregular) face of a building.

===''A correre''===

''A correre'' translates to [[On the Run|on the run]]. This layout consists of multiple vertical columns each refereed to as a ''corso'', or run. The widths of each run are the same however the length varies. This creates an offset pattern that adds character to the [[Street]]. This layout can be made using any kind of [[Paving Stones]].

===''Spina di pesce''===
Paving resembles the spine of a fish. For all stones used in the [[Herring bone|herringbone]] layout the length is twice the width. This technique is always done with ''[[Salizzone|Salizzoni]]''.

===''Opera incerta''===
This layout is made up of recycled [[Masegno|masegni]] or other irregular shaped stones. For this [[Irregular Pavement|irregular layout]], [[Mortar]] is used to fill the gaps between the stones. Because stones are layed out randomly the ''posa'' process is much simpler in this layout. Examples of ''opera incerta'' can be seen at [[St. Mark's Square]].

The laying of stones is refereed to as ''[[Street Maintenance Procedure#Posa|posa]]''. This technique includes laying [[Paving Stones|Stones]] down individually by hand after applying [[Mortar]] to the base of adjacent [[Paving Stones|stones]]. A tool is then used to tap the stones down until flush with the rest of the [[Street]].

== Jointing Techniques ==
[[File:joint--closed.png|right|thumb|400 px|Pavement joint technique]]
There are three common types of jointing techniques used in a Venetian street.

=== Giunto Unito ===
This jointing technique, known as "[[Giunto Unito|closed joints]]", is used in layouts using new [[Masegno|masegni]] because the dimensions are more uniform and exact. The joints in this technique are about 5-10 mm wide and are filled in with dirt thus creating a more historic appearance which better suites Venice's aged appearance.

===Giunto Fugato===
Giunto fugato refers to a [[Giunto Fugato|mortar joint]]. In this technique the [[Masegni|masegni]] are not squared off and [[Mortar]] is used instead of dirt to seal the joints together. This layout was introduced in the 1930s as a means to save money and use fewer stones. The gaps in between stones must be in between 1-5 cm.

===Giunto Fugato con Stilatura a Ferro===
''Stilatura a ferro'' translates to [[Giunto Fugato con Stilatura a Ferro|Ironed line joint]]. This technique is identical to the ''giunto fugato'', except as the mortar is hardening, an iron tool is used to trace lines between the stones. This gives the stones a more regular appearance.
