Unlike the synthetic, ready-made "venetian plaster" products flooding the market today, all of the colors are hand-made in the studio to the exact color specifications of the client. Using only natural materials and following the original process, Orazio De Gennaro creates walls that have a life of their own. It is a technique he has perfected over years of research in the original texts and experimentation with the original recipe.

Over the years, Orazio De Gennaro has worked with the foremost architects and interior designers in New York City, around the U.S. and in Europe. Among his recent projects in New York City are the Mayor's Residence, Gracie Mansion, and the residences of Bono, Lenny Kravitz and Jimmy Buffet.
