First exchange
We look at the wall type, the context, and the role of the place.
Exterior walls and facades
Murals for exterior facades
On facades and outside walls, Giulia Dal Bon paints with a brush: a gable, a garden wall, a shopfront, a courtyard wall. Trained at the Brera Academy, she works in quartz paint, with an anti-salt varnish by the sea and an anti-pollution varnish in town. From 150 € per sqm. Free quote within 48 hours, two sketches included: you approve the design before Giulia paints.

A mural conceived for the exterior
For facades, entrances, courtyards, and exterior walls that need a real reading of the surface, the setting, and the light.
What Giulia brings. Giulia is a painter, trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries and also paints on walls. Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have written about her work, and her mural of over twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can be seen in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.
Support check
Surface, preparation, exposure, and real site conditions matter a lot.
Idea and tone
The mural can stay calm, refined, bold, or highly visible.
Custom mural
Every facade calls for a precise response shaped by the surface, the setting, and the presence the place can carry.
Facades, entrances, and character walls
Outdoor work that still feels painterly
Giulia can also assess complex exterior facades, according to the support, the climate, the preparation and any permissions needed. Exteriors are painted with quartz paint, made for outdoor walls. On request, anti-pollution varnish in cities exposed to traffic, or anti-salt varnish by the sea. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48h.
A mural in progress is street theatre: passers-by linger, film, come back to follow the work. The wall becomes a neighbourhood landmark from the very first days.
Entrances, courtyards, exterior walls, covered terraces, hospitality spaces, private facades, and professional locations. The work stays painterly, custom, and designed to last while remaining in dialogue with the character of the place.

I’d like a mural or a painting on my facade, who should I contact?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She paints murals on facades and exterior walls, in quartz paint, with an anti-salt or anti-pollution varnish, and travels across Europe. Send her a photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and your idea, however loose: she replies within 48 hours with a quote and a first proposal. The first two sketches are free.
How much does a mural cost?
The rate is per square metre: 150 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, 250 € for a fully painted subject, 350 € for a trompe l’oeil or a ceiling. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours: see all prices.
How much does a 15 sqm mural cost on a facade?
The price is per square metre. For 15 sqm on a facade, allow about 2,250 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, and 3,750 € for a fully painted subject, paint, materials and varnish included. The first two sketches are free, and she adjusts them with you. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours. If the height requires it, scaffolding is added to the quote; outdoors, Giulia uses quartz paint and offers an anti-salt or anti-pollution varnish.
What is the difference between a hand-painted mural and spray-painted graffiti?
They are two different crafts. A graffiti artist works with spray cans, with a fast gesture and a graphic finish. A brush-painted mural is built layer by layer, which allows gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil: it is a painting made directly on the wall. Indoors, Giulia uses odourless acrylic. And while she paints, people take the time to watch: a brush at work is a show in itself.
What do you call an artist who paints on walls?
A mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist or a decorative painter, and the art itself is called mural painting or wall art. Some come from graffiti and work with spray cans; Giulia Dal Bon comes from painting: trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, she exhibits her paintings in art galleries and paints commissioned murals with a brush. To have one painted, send her a photo of your wall: free quote within 48 hours.
How long does a mural last?
An acrylic mural lasts a lifetime indoors: the paint becomes part of the plaster and lives as long as the wall. As a finish, Giulia applies a protective varnish: the mural lasts a lifetime, and the wall can be cleaned with a damp sponge while the painting stays intact. Outdoors, quartz paint is made for facades, and an anti-salt or anti-pollution varnish extends it further. And if one day you want a change, it can be painted over like any wall paint.
