Marmorino and marbleising

Marmorino, or Venetian marmorino, is a plaster obtained from the mixture of slaked lime and marble dust, its use dates back to 1500.

So-called marbleising has been one of the most used decoration techniques in Italian palaces for centuries, appreciated for its beauty and versatility, and highly requested by Diemme Pitture's customers as well.

The company has expert painters for various types of painting and decoration work, from marmorino in friezes to skirting boards, capitals, bathroom and living room coverings.

The peculiarities of marmorino

The composition of the marmorino made by Diemme includes, in addition to slaked lime, pure high-quality marble dust to enhance all the characteristics of the compound.

Its high breathability allows for quick drying and thermal protection, as well as protection from water stagnation. Its chemical composition (calcium carbonate) makes it a material that is almost 100% biodegradable and biocompatible with natural coloured pigments, which can add an extra chromatic touch to the warmth and the ancient sense that marbleising already conveys from the very first stroke. Turn to Diemme to request the intervention of expert decorators and painters for painting and decorations.

The history of Venetian stucco

The first works in Venetian stucco were found in archaeological excavations in the Middle East and date back to 3000 B.C. In Italy, this spatula painting technique – which is part of Diemme's range of services – became popular in Venice: its extraordinary resistance to infiltration and humidity, combined with the beauty of its aesthetic result, increased the spread of this treatment in the alleys and squares.

Venetian stucco: characteristics

The mixture used by Diemme to create Venetian stucco includes lime putty, calcium carbonates, marble dust, and additives. The particular chemical composition of the result and the possible addition of pigments enhance gloss and chromatic effects, making the product ideal for application with a spatula. Its particular advantages in terms of breathability and insulation make it a long-lasting product, ideal for preventing excess moisture and mould proliferation.
