   Hey Joe...or Grazie if you prefer.

I am also new to the forum, so welcome!

Coming here myself with a background in Italian wall finishes, I'm glad to see another member with a similar CV. In addition to being a merchant, are you also a painter? I'm not familiar with your product line, but I did check out your website...very nice...but, I was surprised to see what seemed like a somewhat (and correct me if I'm wrong, and I apologize if I am) synthetic line of materials. Is this what you mean by “modern plasters?”

Why is it so difficult to find authentic plasters in North America...not to mention fresco quality lime? I've found that the costs are usually the same, but the quality and working characteristics of the true Italian imports are so much better. Is it that the plaster companies in Italy just don't care to expand their U.S. sales, or is the demand just too low?

Just an opener...many more topics to go...I am very interested in speaking about application methods and the elements manufacturing. I hope there’s some more interest on the board.

Mitchell
