By the time Giorgio Vasari wrote his chapter on the Italian sgraffito technique ("Degli sgraffiti delle case…") in 1550, approximately 250 years had already passed since its invention by Florentine plaster workers. The range of motifs, which had been very limited during the Trecento, developed over the following centuries—driven by builders' competition for aesthetic distinction, the creativity of highly qualified artists, and a high-performance culture of craftsmanship. In seventeenth-century Italy the sgraffito technique fell into disuse; it gained renewed interest only in the nineteenth century and culminated in the second half of that century in a veritable sgraffito renaissance.
On the basis of many examples presented mainly in chronological order, the paper outlines the use of sgraffito in Italy from the fourteenth to the twentieth century. Besides aspects of technology and practical application, the paper considers problems of builders' and artists' interests and the motifs specific to regions and epochs.
