I’m Italian and here we have lots of original bricks/stones original Renaissance street pavements.

Many of us actually don’t like when administrations cover it with asphalt, because it’s like covering/hiding history - even though sometimes is necessary to make it easier for cars, bikes, girls with heels/sandals (hello).

I think with the right maintenance the old layer is pretty cool, at least in residential areas.
