Over the course of the previous half-century, modern plasters have seen a substantial transformation, transitioning from those based on sand, cement, and lime to those based on gypsum, which is lighter in weight. In addition, there is the emergence of a material known as “marble plaster,” which is colored and offers the appearance and texture of marble. However, “marble plaster” or “venetian plaster” is not a new or contemporary term since its roots can be traced back to Venice, Italy, which is the birthplace of venetian plaster, which dates back 500 years. V/P is an abbreviation that refers to a collection of plaster finishes that were developed in Venice during the sixteenth century. Therefore, in order to prevent structures from sinking into the mud, architects and builders were required to discover a lightweight alternative to marble. A color pigment is added to lime putty that has been blended with marble flour, and the mixture is then placed in two to seven extremely thin layers. By using a steel trowel, the last layer is polished until it reaches a shiny state. Next, wax is added, and finally it is polished. Stucco venetian is the first of two varieties of venetian plaster that are used in contemporary construction. In order to produce a pattern that resembles marble, this is the most refined of the two, and it is applied in a random manner. The marmarino variety is the second one, and it has a coarse aggregate. This material is used to make coats, and it may be handled in a variety of ways to make it seem as if it is stone. As long as the substrates are sufficiently flat and the appropriate surface preparation has been carried out, v/p may be used to the majority of substrates. When it comes to plastering, getting the right finish requires a lot of skill, and various plasterers will produce different finishes.
