Venetian Plaster is an old World technique that starts with limestone rocks from rivers or quarries. By the use of heat, water and time, the limestone is turned into an amazing “lime putty”. Mixed with such colorants as ground marble dust, and applied via steel trowels with refined techniques, Venetian Plaster turns an ordinary wall or ceiling into a masterpiece.

Although some Venetian Plasters are polished or “burnished” with a sheen, techniques have been developed to give a multitude of different effects from suede to marble to stone.
It is through the artisan’s imagination and the refinement of technique that truly wonderful effects are created.

Ceilings and walls softened with a rich patina by age or decorated with various artworks have caught the attention of Interior Designers and Architects in a major way.

From Wikipedia
Venetian Plaster is a Finishing technique using thin layers of plaster applied with a spatula or trowel and then burnished to create a smooth surface with the illusion of depth and texture.
"Venetian plaster" is American-made term to explain the variety of different techniques and materials used to create the polished stucco finish.
The Term "Venetian Plaster" is common misconception.

The English word "plaster" comes from old French word "plaister" which literally means gypsum. The term "Venetian plaster" is mainly used between architects and designers in the US. None of the materials used to create those finishes is plaster except the Scagliola finish.
Basic Plaster mix is gypsum, sand and lime or just the gypsum and sand. In other words gypsum is the main material in the plaster mix. Stucco is the mix of lime and sand (Traditional) and modern stucco is the mix of lime, cement and sand. So, main material in the modern stucco mix is the cement and traditional mix is the lime or hydraulic lime used in polished stucco.
