About STUCCO ITALIANO Passion for tradition Stucco Italiano is an Italian manufacturer and contractor of decorative finishes, based in the region of Venice.

It was founded in 1999 by a group of artisans with life-long experience in the production and application of lime-based plasters.

At the time, their background in the field of restoration brought them to rediscover and use materials that were unexplored at the time.

Since then, Stucco Italiano’s missions has been the preservation and diffusion of traditional Italian decorative plasters and of their original application techniques.

About STUCCO ITALIANO Attention to modern needs At Stucco Italiano, the care for tradition is always combined with an attention to the aesthetic and performance demands of contemporary life and of a globalised world.

We are determined to comply with the necessities of our suppliers based in the most diverse places of the globe.

As a result, we are constantly expanding our production, including in it a variety of new finishes, many of which fall outside of our original lime line.

Finally, our constant effort is oriented to the amelioration of the original plasters. Modern life not only requires stronger surfaces, but also materials that adhere to ecofriendly standards.
