A Milanese painter, at your Milanese evenings
Giulia was born in Segrate and lived much of her life in Milan. She knows the city, its event venues and its pace, and she has already painted in public there: at the Fabbrica del Vapore, for Play Green, beside the illustrator Francesco Barcella, on a reclaimed wooden panel supplied by the Di Nuovo craftsmen.
Her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci, unveiled on 16 October 2024 at Circolo Cerizza, can be seen in Milan and was covered by Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore and Sky Arte. It is a signature your Milanese guests recognise.
In practice, for a company in Milan
Send the date, the venue and the number of guests. Giulia replies within 48 hours with a free, itemised quote and an invoice made out to the company. Two complimentary sketches, adjusted with you, and the signed canvas stays with the company the same evening.
She paints the city whenever you want it: the Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Navigli, the outline of the Torre Velasca. She speaks Italian, French, English and Spanish, which counts at an international convention.
Event venues in Milan and Lombardy
Giulia travels to the event venues of the city: Fiera Milano in Rho, Palazzo delle Stelline with its eight thousand square metres and twenty rooms, the Magnolia cloister and Leonardo’s vineyard; the Fabbrica del Vapore, via Procaccini 4, thirty-two thousand square metres of former factory, where she has already painted live; East End Studios on via Mecenate, four thousand three hundred modular square metres. And to the showrooms, headquarters and offices of the centre, Porta Nuova and CityLife.
She also works in Monza, Segrate, Rho, Sesto San Giovanni, Saronno, Gorgonzola, Melzo, Peschiera Borromeo, Abbiategrasso, Bergamo, Brescia, Como and Pavia.
Your questions, before booking
How does live painting work at our company evening in Milan?
Tell Giulia Dal Bon the date, the venue and the occasion, and she brings your idea to life with you. She offers you a free quote within 48 hours. Before the day, you choose the size and the subject together, and she prepares the composition if needed. On the day, she paints in front of your guests, evening in Milan, and the signed painting is yours that same day. The invoice is made out to the company. Live painting for a company evening starts at 900 €.
Who do I contact for corporate live painting in Milan?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in galleries, paints murals in sixteen countries, and paints live on stage and at evening events: at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, and at the Festival Gaber in Camaiore on 6 July 2017, alongside the guitarist Gianni Martini. She speaks Italian, French, English and Spanish, and comes to Milan as she does all over Europe, to a congress centre or to your own offices.
Can she paint the Duomo or a symbol of Milan during the evening?
Yes, and it is a natural request at international conventions: guests who travelled far leave with the image of the city they were in. Giulia paints the Duomo, the Galleria, the Navigli or the view from the venue itself, with the company name drawn by hand into the composition.
And during the Salone del Mobile or a trade-fair week?
That is a period when showrooms receive visitors non-stop: a painter working in the window or at the back of the showroom holds visitors far longer than a screen. The length is decided with you, over one evening or several fair days.
How much does live painting cost for a company evening?
From €900 for a live performance, and the length is decided with you: twenty minutes during a speech, an hour at the drinks reception, or the whole evening. Portraits of your guests, sketched during the evening, start at €1,200. A large format or a full day starts at €2,400. Giulia Dal Bon sends a free quote within 48 hours, itemised line by line so it slots into a budget, with an invoice made out to the company.
What exactly does the company receive?
The canvas, signed, handed over the same evening. The high-resolution file of the painting, for your internal communications, your intranet and your social media. The invoice made out to the company, itemised line by line.
What happens to the painting after the evening?
It stays with the company, hung in reception or in a meeting room: it is the trace of the evening, and everyone who was there recognises it. It can also be given to a departing director, handed to a client, auctioned for a charity, or drawn among the guests. Giulia signs it if you wish.
Can the logo or the brand colours go into the painting?
Yes. Giulia also studied graphic design at the Brera Academy: she draws the lettering by hand and builds the canvas around the company’s colours. The logo can appear painted, or stay out and let the palette speak. It is decided beforehand, on the two complimentary sketches, with your management or your agency.
Can the team take part?
Yes, in three ways. Giulia paints the large canvas of the evening, the venue or the brand motif, and your guests write on it whatever they like: the work leaves with their words on it, like a painted guest book. Everyone can also add a brushstroke, or each team can paint a section that she then ties together. And she paints watercolour portraits of the guests, one by one, each of them leaving with their own. Tell her how many people and how much time you have, and she adapts.
What does Giulia need on site?
A square of about two metres by two, a power socket and some light. She arrives with her easel, her canvases and her paints, protects the floor around her and leaves with her own equipment. The acrylic she uses dries fast, so the canvas leaves the same evening.
Where has Giulia already painted live?
On stages, in theatres, at weddings and at company evenings: she has painted live hundreds of times, dozens of them with the piano and painting show she performs as a duo. Two of those dates are public: at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, for Play Green, she painted alongside the illustrator Francesco Barcella, on a reclaimed wooden panel supplied by the Di Nuovo craftsmen. And on 6 July 2017, in Camaiore, for the fourteenth Festival Gaber, she painted under the Arco di Via Vittorio Emanuele beside the guitarist Gianni Martini. The links are on the Press page.
