Hi Mitchell, thank you for visiting our web site.

We do carry lime products, as a matter of fact we offer 3 types.

MIZAAR smooth grasello type.
Classic Marmorino
Pitture alla Calce....lime paint.

Our sales in these products are starting to catch up with our synthetic's.

The market in ITALY is somewhat strange at times. Lime plasters are used approx 80% of the time. Synthetic's are still very common and used in different types of application.

I prefer the lime myself and have always beleived in them. The US market is growing very quickly in these types of Lime plasters. There are so many compaines that have products in USA from Italy or france. Do your research and price compare. The true importers have there products priced all in range with each other. The trend for traditional material is exploding and more and more applicators prefer the lime.

Hope that gives you an idea of what I mean by modern and old world plasters.
