Decorative painting

The decorative art gives witness to the skills of the professionals that produce it. This art can be seen on exterior walls, in painted friezes, sundials, signs, and also inside buildings, in stairwells, or public spaces.

Trompe l'oeil painting on facades, faux stonework, shadowing and molding and other faux techniques, produce effects that are often naïve, always charming.
