Today we have an industry based in Northern Italy, due to the geological qualities of the bedrock in the area, producing Venetian Plasters to a level of quality our ancestoral master craftsmen could not have even wished for. Modern methods of plaster production and pigmenting allow us access to the full colour spectrum with an infinite ammount of control over texture and pattern. |
The principal ingredient in Stucco Veneciano is Lime. Lime has been the binder of choice for mortars and plasters for over 10,000 years, the oldest surviving example is in Turkey, dating back to 8,000 BC More recently during the Renaissance period it was used extensively throughout the Palacial homes around the Mediterranean. In those days they used mineral oxides to colour the plaster, resulting in rich earthy coloured buildings that have withstood the test of time. A master craftsman would have chosen putties that were created from seasoned slaked lime. |
