Italian term or phrase: strato pittorico
"Un primo inconveniente consiste nel fatto che i raggi infrarossi generalmente oltrepassano lo strato delle vernici e lo strato pittorico, indistintamente, non consentendo quindi di raccogliere informazioni specifiche su di essi."

Strato pittorico and vernici

If these are paintings, what's the difference?

agree  Pompeo Lattanzi: My compliments, Olga! As always superbly researched. Attenzione però a "vernici", da tradurre "varnish" se trasparente/non pigmentata, oppure "paint" se pigmentata/opaca. Perdonate la pignoleria, ma sono i termini tecnici...

  -> Wow Pompeo. Grazie per i complimenti ma anche tu sei molto bravo. Si la precisazione è giustissima. Io ho optato per coat ma se nel contesto si fa riferimento a vernice trasparente allora varnish è più indicato
