smollero
Seems to be left untranslated.
la terra viene, infatti, smossa con cura e “passata” meticolosamente per trovare pietre grandi e piccole che verranno portate allo stabilimento di Monesiglio. Tagliata poi in blocchi regolari, una pressa la divide in cubetti per la pavimentazione di piazze e strade, per un accuratissimo ritorno alle tradizioni: altre vengono lavorate “a smollero” e possono essere impiegate nelle pavimentazioni di “sternie”, le antiche strade acciottolate o per il rivestimento di case, volte, soffitti e colonne. Un prodotto che perfettamente si adatta ad ogni tipo di utilizzo, dalle costruzioni ai restauri, dai ripristini alle ristrutturazioni, alle pavimentazioni, ai rivestimenti esterni ed interni ed all’arredo urbano delle città.

They are small irregular strips of slabs with variable thickness and dimensions, which can be laid in two different ways, according to the utility: if placed flat one on top of the other, they are particularly suitable for facing walls, pillars and basements; if placed perpendicularly side by side, they are used for paving steep sloping roads, particularly in areas subject to frosting.

small porphyry slabs/paving stones
Declined
All the references to "smolleri" on the web seem to be Italian sites. However, sites with English versions describe it as "small porphyry slabs" to which there are numerable references on the UK web.
"We have over the years used both Italian and German Porphyry in a variety of locations . This is an extremely good stone for exterior use as it is a volcanic stone with a natural cleaving plane . This gives a good even surface ..."
"Porphyry Cobblestone - Genuine European cobblestone. The Ancient appeal of this Italian stone makes porphyry a very coveted material for cobblestones. It is known for its purplish, warm earthy tone that enhances and environment. Harder than marble or granite, porphyry resists wear, discoloration and staining which makes it ideal for driveways. Its natural surface resists slipping and is less likely to crack, chip or crumble in freezing weather..." http://bourgetbros.com/flagstone/cobbles_porphyry.htm (shows a picture)
"For slopes and garage flooring smolleri are the most suitable material, thanks to the anti-slid qualities of porphyry"
In the 20s and 30s coarse tiles or smolleri began to be used to cover sloping surfaces in many mountain italian villages in Trentino, Lombardy and Veneto.
