Stucco decorations have traditionally been studied mainly for their artistic and formal qualities, but little attention has been given to the professional role of the stucco makers and to their technical skills.

From the 15th to the 18th century, many stucco artists from the areas between present-day Canton Ticino and Lombardy worked throughout Europe, bringing a wealth of knowledge that they adapted from time to time to different contexts. 

This collection of essays highlights the role of the stucco makers in construction sites and their particular technical skills, which enabled them to create magnificent decorations in imitation of marble from different locally available materials.

Each contribution examines these topics with an interdisciplinary approach, considering art and social history, technical art history and material sciences.

The volume includes a bilingual glossary of materials, techniques, and tools related to stucco art.

Le decorazioni in stucco sono state tradizionalmente studiate principalmente per le loro qualità artistiche e formali, ma poca attenzione è stata dedicata al ruolo professionale degli stuccatori e alle loro competenze tecniche.

Dal XV al XVIII secolo, molti artisti dello stucco provenienti dalle zone comprese tra l'attuale Cantone Ticino e la Lombardia hanno lavorato in tutta Europa, apportando un ricco bagaglio di conoscenze che hanno saputo adattare di volta in volta ai diversi contesti. 

Questa raccolta di saggi mette in luce il ruolo degli stuccatori nei cantieri edili e le loro particolari competenze tecniche, che hanno permesso loro di creare magnifiche decorazioni imitando il marmo con diversi materiali disponibili localmente.

Ogni contributo esamina questi argomenti con un approccio interdisciplinare, prendendo in considerazione la storia dell'arte e la storia sociale, la storia dell'arte tecnica e le scienze dei materiali.

Il volume include un glossario bilingue dei materiali, delle tecniche e degli strumenti relativi all'arte dello stucco.

Testi in italiano e inglese.
