Both give hits, but gesso is more associated with fresco painting.

Gesso seems to go well with the first three, but not with relievo.
Mezzo may fit all four ..I can only find Italian texts for duro, so not 100% sure.

Mezzo relievo is a term used in sculpture so mezzo is not correct.
The term gesso relief is not too difficult to find in english texts so presumably the italian translation is gesso relievo. ...just not to be found (easily) on the internet.
Gesso seems to be a word more specifically used for fresco painting, in any case.
