This striped marble effect (marble and basalt, to be precise) is the hallmark of Orvieto's Duomo as well as several other churches and cathedrals throughout Italy during the late Middle Ages (around 1290-ish). That, along with the bas relief sculpture on the facade make this a definite stop if you're ever in the area!The Wikipedia article on Orvieto is pretty decent, too.
