Herring Bone (''Spina di Pesce'')
The Herring bone pavement layout, known in Italian as Spina di Pesce,aligns paving stones in a way that resembles the spine of a fish. Every stone in the "herringbone" layout has to be the same size, with the length of the stone being twice the width.[1] This technique is always done with Salizzone which meet the previously stated requirement.
Boundaries
At the border of any herring bone pavement is a run of large salizzone stones. Because the stones used in the herring bone design are all the same size, they match up evenly with the straight run of stones along the border. Along this run there are drains for rainwater every 3 stones; Underneath the stones is a gatoli, which transports the rainwater underneath the pavement and empties it into the canals.
