Venetian Stucco
Venetian Stucco ( Stucco Veneziano) is a term which refers to technique in polished stucco application. It is modern term to describe some of the techniques used to achieve polished stucco effect. In the origin country Italy is known as Stucco Lustro or Spatolato. Venetian stucco is made with natural materials. This finish is more delicate than Marmorino, and is therefore only for use on interior surfaces. Venetian stucco technique is used to achieve a more intense marbling and natural stone effect than Marmorino. The resulting surface is smooth and polished (mirror-effect) with strong contrasting variations. It can be applied in several colors. To achieve very smooth and shiny finish, we use of hundreds of trowel strokes per every square foot. Our methods of application and materials have been used for centuries in the Mediterranean region. Venetian stucco and Marmorino techniques are forgotten and we are trying to keep a piece of history alive.
