It is a natural lime-based plaster that recalls the stucco covering the exterior and interior walls of Venetian buildings.
Marmorino is a natural material made of lime and ground marble. Its hardness and resistance make it suitable even in very moist environments, such as Venetian lagoon. Its finish is smooth with a variable degree of shine depending on how much it has been burnished. Marmorino Medium (Carrara) has pleasant chiaroscuro effects owing to its visible workmanship, which gives it a sense of depth.
This is a natural mineral lime base wall covering for fine decorative finishes on interior and exterior surfaces. It is highly appreciated for its aesthetic effect, unique when properly lighted. It is used in sophisticated environments, such as reception areas, offices, and villas. In the bathroom it is an alternative to marble and ceramic. The workmanship may or may not be visible depending on the application.

Marmorino Medium should be applied to plaster (rough or smooth, new or not insulated). Already painted surfaces require a thorough brushing down to remove dust and unevenness. Where necessary, use a brush or roller to apply a coat of Quartz Primer diluted with water up to about 40% in volume to be used, ca. gr/m2 150÷200, or Normal Primer diluted 1 to 7/8 with water.
Apply at least 3 coats of Marmorino with a steel trowel.

Hundreds of black flecks per square meter. This additive, a black quartz sand, is packaged and read to use in a 24 kg container of Marmorino Medium. As the name suggests, there are thousands of little flecks of black in this finish. Traditionally this was generally used to finish Venetian villas and palaces. It is also called “Rasato di Calce”.
Not too shiny, with soft movements and soft inner marks. Fine marble grains are visible as small points of pale gray color – due to the work of the metallic blade against the surface – which are more or less apparent depending on how the artisan applies the material, giving the surface a look of transparency and depth.
Small grains of terracotta (coccio pesto) are added to the material. When applying, some of the grains are crushed with the pressure of the blade of the trowel creating reddish-brown spots on the finish.
A veil made of a thin layer of Marmorino Medium tinted in a color lighter than that of the background is applied over all the surface of a fresh Marmorino medium. The result is light color coming in and out of the darker background. Once you have finished applying the marmorino, before burnishing to polish, veiling is created by adding a small amount of white marmorino to the original material which is applied in an overlapped layer. This superimposed lighter color gives a real veiled look to the finish.
This additive comes from Asian seashells that have been ground and sifted. It can be used with Marmorino Medium, but its best product is Marmorino Coarse since its size is over 1,2 mm. It has brown, yellow, and gray flecks mixed with shiny reflective grains.
Hundreds of flecks of glitter per square meter. Stars on the wall. This gloss additive gives off small gold or silver dots of light.
There are many additives you can add to the Marmorino. Mica, a natural shiny mineral, is one of them. Hundreds of flakes per square meter lend a magical atmosphere to the environment. Small flakes similar to fish scales magically reflect the light as you pass by the wall.
Moon surface effect. The flat blade of a trowel is applied with a push and pull movement against a generous amount of fresh material.
A Gold Marmorino Metallic is applied on an unpolished, finished red Marmorino Medium finish. There are countless variations.
