Stuccowork is a decorative finish made of finely ground limestone mixed with water and glue that is applied to interior walls or exterior facades. This type of plasterwork can be found on buildings all over the world and has been used for centuries. While stuccowork is a term often used by architects and builders, it can also be referred to as plasterwork, render, or even pargeting. These terms are interchangeable and describe the same process of creating a textured or smooth surface on walls or ceilings. Other related terms include scagliola, which is a decorative finish used to imitate marble, and sgraffito, which is a technique used to create decorative patterns on stucco.
