About Frescoes

Frescoes are not regular paintings. Pigments are applied directly on a fresh, wet plaster base on the wall. By doing so, colors retain their vibrancy and last longer, remaining beautifully vivid. The painting must be done quickly and skillfully, before the plaster base dries.

Calicot Method

To be able to be transported, our frescoes are made using a special technique, called Calicot Method, in Italian la tecnica a Strappo. This technique is used since the 17th century in case a fresco needs to be removed from its original location.
