Decorative plaster is a broad term that includes many techniques, while Venetian plaster is a specific type of decorative plaster made from slaked lime and marble dust. Venetian plaster is known for its smooth, polished, and marble-like appearance, while other decorative plasters can have a wider range of textures and finishes.

“Italian stucco” and “Venetian plaster” are often used interchangeably, but “stucco” is a broader Italian term for plaster. Venetian plaster, or “Stucco Veneziano,” is a specific type of fine Italian stucco that is highly polished to create a signature, luxurious finish with depth and luminosity.

While often grouped together, Marmorino is a type of Venetian plaster. The key difference is the texture. Traditional Venetian plaster is prized for its high-gloss, glass-like finish, while Marmorino plaster contains a higher ratio of crushed marble dust, which gives it a more subtle, stone-like texture and a softer, satin sheen.
