BASE COAT:
A base of lime and sand with micro-fiber is applied to the wall in two coats before the application of marmorino. This is called arriccio.

SOAP:
After the marmorino has dried, a coat of marseilles soap is brushed on the wall in preparation for a following coat of beeswax.

COLOR:
Following the traditional technique, Orazio carefully mixes together lime, marble dust, linseed oil, marseilles soap and colored earth pigments. This mixture is then trowelled on the wall in successive layers.

BEESWAX:
The beeswax is then trowelled on the wall, rendering the surface more brilliant and durable, while at the same time, reinforcing the color and enhancing its transparency.

Through this process, the application of traditional venetian plaster is elevated to an art form and therefore distinguishes itself from the industrial application of today.
