Re: types of tile ?
my guess would be
ceramico=ceramic
porcelaino=porcelain
if you lick the back of a porcelain tile it will stick to your tongue

Re: types of tile ?
The bit that worries me is do you know where these tiles were stored and how they were transported, rats tend to have no worries where they leave there waste, if you see what I mean..
