Venezian Lido granite

Hi.  I have seen a "new" way to finish a slab of granite, which is called a "Venezian finish".  These slabs are produced by one company in Italy and, according to this company's literature, the textured finish of the material can be a striking substitute for honed finishes.  According to the fabricator that carries these slabs, unlike granite that has been honed, the Venezian surfaces do not stain. They are quite beautiful but I am concerned about their long term durability.  Does anyone have any experience with this type of finish, specifically the Venezian Lido, which is a black granite.  Thanks, Marilyn
