Manuel Saenz is a pretty good photographer as well as a plaster artisan. He just sent us a link to his photo gallery from the Stucco Italiano trip to Italy, including beautiful shots of the scenery…
interesting Italian finishes…
and of course, photos of Gianni teaching the students at the Stucco Italiano studio in Vicenza…
Take a look at more of Manuel’s photos, or our Stucco Italiano class group photo pool, and let us know what you think.

Subsequent to our fabulous trip to Vicenza and Venice to study under Stucco Italiano owner Giovanni Polistena, Venice reached its highest water levels since 1986 this week.
Here’s a photo Kay Lynn took in Venice during the trip:
…and here’s the same area this week, during the flood!
According to the New York Times, “Venice routinely floods several times a year, but in recent years the phenomenon has worsened. Experts say global warming is the main culprit.”
Hmmm… yet another reason to do your part to combat global warming by choosing green materials for your walls…
More photos of the flood, which is now receding, here.
