Vescovi Stucco
A Forgotten Italian Villa - designs inspired by the Villa dei Vescovi
The third design in this collection, is a stucco for an exterior wall. I put the diagonal metal-looking cross bracing (which I was very tempted to turn into wood lattice and put roses and vines on instead) on the wall as if it is supporting the old wall. The actual building has frescos and trompe-l'œil paintings on the walls - one of which had diagonal crossing lines like these —- so I turned them into these metal bands. I intentionally went for a rough look and harsh shadows here - for an old wall on a sunny day.
