The sgraffito is an engraved design in the lime stucco.

The technique of sgraffito focuses on the reproduction of decorations and the rendering of motifs, moldings, and individual drawings - vegetation, drapery, plants...etc.

Used mainly on the rich habitation façade, the stucco also became a component of the interior design.

The coat is composed of smooth surfaces opposed to engravings or scraped surfaces, with different colorations.
The finishing of the last coat can also be decorated with a colourful lime paint ‘a fresco’.
