Italian architecture has made extensive use of Cocciopesto as mortar, plaster, or finishing layer. Materia Viva Cocciopesto is composed of crushed bricks and tiles with selected granulometries mixed into the Materia Viva base, a mineral powder coating for interiors based on hydraulic lime, aerial lime, and selected aggregates. Materia Viva Cocciopesto is a modern interpretation of the classic cocciopesto plaster, present in historical construction and in the architecture of various Italian cities.
