Venetian Plaster and Specialty Finishes
Our Specialty Finishes
Venetian Plaster
A classic Italian finish built up in thin layers of lime plaster, then troweled and burnished by hand. The result has the depth and polished look of natural marble, from soft satin to high gloss.
Marmorino
A traditional Venetian lime plaster made with crushed marble. It creates a smooth, stone-like surface with subtle variation and a refined, natural look, for interior or exterior walls.
Limewash
A mineral paint applied by brush for a soft, cloudy finish with gentle movement. Limewash gives walls an organic, timeworn character that grows more beautiful with age.
Roman Clay
A smooth, matte plaster finish with a soft, velvety texture and subtle tonal variation. It's warm, modern and understated, ideal for contemporary and minimalist spaces.
And More
We also create other finishes, such as metallic, concrete-look or custom textures. If you have a look in mind, we'll help you achieve it.

Old-World Craftsmanship for Exceptional Spaces
Some spaces call for more than paint. Venetian plaster, marmorino, limewash and Roman clay bring depth, movement and texture that make a wall part of the design, not just a background.
Zanchi Painting creates handcrafted specialty finishes for luxury homes and distinctive commercial spaces across the Tampa Bay Area, applied with the techniques and attention to detail of true Italian craftsmanship.
Learned in Milan. Perfected Over Decades.
Our owner, Stefano, grew up in Italy, learning decorative finishes alongside his father in some of Milan's finest buildings. Those years taught him what separates good work from exceptional work: patience, precision and an obsession with details.
After decades perfecting these techniques, he brought that same standard to the United States, where he built Zanchi Painting and expanded into commercial painting. Today, every specialty finish we create carries that Italian training and the belief that the details make the difference.
