Murals in Amalfi
Amalfi was one of the four ancient Italian maritime republics, alongside Venice, Genoa, and Pisa, and still holds its cathedral with its Arab-Norman facade. In Amalfi, Giulia paints the walls of private villas, historic hotels, and shops. It all starts with a photo of the wall and its measurements: Giulia draws the sketch on top, then comes to paint on site.
What Giulia brings to Amalfi. 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 covered her work, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci stands in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.
What Giulia brings to Amalfi
The Cloister of Paradise was built between 1266 and 1268 at the request of Archbishop Filippo Augustariccio, as a burial ground for the noble families of Amalfi: interlaced arches of Arab-Norman taste, marble, mosaics, sarcophagi and frescoes. It belongs to the cathedral complex of Saint Andrew, with the Basilica of the Crucifix, home to the diocesan museum, and the crypt. A little lower down, the Arsenal of the Republic, where the ships were built, now houses the Compass Museum.
Amalfi has therefore kept the wall decoration of its golden age, when it was one of the four maritime republics. Giulia Dal Bon paints there with a brush, in the houses, hotels, restaurants and terraces of the coast, using odourless acrylic colours indoors, quartz paint and anti-salt varnish outdoors, facing the sea wind. Prestige rate from 400 € per sqm, free quote within 48 hours.
Giulia also paints live in Amalfi. For a wedding, a private evening or a brand event, she sets up her easel and the painting takes shape in front of your guests, signed and taken home the same evening. From 950 € for a wedding, from 400 € for a performance. See live painting →
Your questions, before commissioning
A photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and the idea you have in mind are enough to receive a quote.
How much does a mural cost in Amalfi?
In Amalfi the rate reflects a high-standing destination: 400 € per square metre for a line drawing or a simple motif, 600 € for a fully painted subject, 800 € for trompe-l’oeil or a ceiling. The quote is free: see all prices.
How do I commission a mural in Amalfi?
Write to Giulia Dal Bon on WhatsApp or by email, even if the idea is still vague: she replies within 48 hours. Send her a photo of the wall to be painted, she draws a sketch straight onto your photo, you tell her what you think, and the first two sketches are free. Once the sketch is approved, she sends you the quote, from 400 € per sqm in Amalfi, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Amalfi, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
Does the price of a mural in Amalfi include the materials?
Giulia Dal Bon’s price per square metre includes the paint and materials, the first two sketches, corrections during the work and the protective varnish as a finish. Added to the quote, when needed, are the scaffolding for a facade and travel costs, agreed together. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours; a deposit of about 100 € for materials confirms the date, and the balance is settled at the end.
I’d like a mural or a painting on a wall of my home in Amalfi, who should I contact?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She paints murals by brush in homes, bedrooms, bathrooms, on terraces, pool walls and facades, and travels in Amalfi as she does 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.
Can I see a design before commissioning the mural?
Always. You receive a sketch set on a photo of your own wall, to scale, together with the quote. The first two sketches are free: Giulia shows the work in progress, you give your opinion, and she adjusts. You confirm when you are ready.
Will a mural damage the wall?
The paint goes onto the plaster already in place. In most cases a dusting down is all that is needed before starting. If the surface has cracks or rising damp, Giulia points it out before quoting and proposes the preparation required. Indoors she uses an odourless acrylic: a child’s bedroom in use or a restaurant that stays open can both be painted. An acrylic mural can later be painted over like any wall paint, if you change your mind in ten years.
When is the best time to paint a mural in Amalfi?
All year round. Indoors the odourless acrylic lets the room stay in use while she works, in January as in July. Outdoors she needs a dry wall and a mild temperature. Giulia sets the date with you when she quotes, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves.
Can a view of Amalfi be painted on a wall?
Yes, and it is a subject that sits well on a large wall. The cathedral and its monumental staircase, the Arab-Norman facade in bands of stone, the white houses stacked in the gorge and the boats drawn up on the beach. Giulia Dal Bon paints all of it with a brush. As a line drawing, the view falls under the 400 € per sqm rate; with colour and shadow, it starts at 600 € per sqm. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Amalfi?
The most requested subjects: floral and botanical work for bedrooms and living rooms, landscapes for living spaces and terraces, trompe l’oeil for facades and ceilings. Everything is drawn to measure: Giulia offers two free sketches from your idea, and you refine it together until the subject is yours.
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. The choice depends on the finish you are after.
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.
Does a mural hold up outdoors in Amalfi?
Yes, with surface preparation suited to the coast’s sea air. Giulia paints outdoors all year round, on a dry wall and in mild weather: she checks the forecast with you and sets the date. Choosing the paint and the surface for an outdoor wall in Amalfi is explained in the guide Which paint, which wall, how long it lasts.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Amalfi?
An interior wall can be painted freely. For a facade visible from the street, you usually need the owner’s or the building association’s approval, and a notice to the town hall if the building is in a protected area: the Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is largely protected. Giulia explains the process before starting.
How long does it take to paint a mural?
It depends on the surface, the level of detail and how easy the wall is to reach. Giulia gives the timing with the quote, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves. The place keeps running while she works: the acrylic is odourless.
How long does a mural last?
Painted in acrylic by Giulia Dal Bon, a mural lasts a lifetime indoors: the paint becomes part of the plaster and lives as long as the wall. 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.

Where Giulia works in Amalfi
In Amalfi, in a villa or an apartment, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen. She paints the bathroom, the entrance and the hallway just as readily. A ceiling is painted the same way, from the scaffold. Outside, on the exterior facade and the terrace, she works in quartz paint. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant in Amalfi, she paints the dining-room wall, and the tables stay laid. In a boutique, the painted window is seen from the street, and the shutter stays painted after closing. In a hotel, she paints reception, the stairwell and the bedrooms. In a spa, she paints the treatment-room walls and the reception area.
The subject comes from you. Giulia draws a landscape, a floral or botanical motif, a painted sky on a ceiling, a perspective trompe-l’oeil. She paints figures and animals, letters signs and lettering by hand, and reproduces a work you love.
Possible subjects in Amalfi: the white houses stacked in the gorge and the boats drawn up on the beach, the cathedral and its monumental staircase, the Arab-Norman facade in bands of stone. Alongside these, a trompe-l’oeil window, a botanical motif or a painted sky remain possible.
People ask for different things and mean the same one: a mural, a wall mural, an artistic painting on a wall. Others say wall decoration, decorative painting, mural decoration. Others again a trompe-l’oeil, a hand-painted wall, a drawing on a wall, or a painting made directly on the wall. It is one craft, that of a mural artist, a muralist, a decorative painter, and Giulia does it with a brush in Amalfi.
Amalfi was one of the four ancient Italian maritime republics and still holds its cathedral with its Arab-Norman facade, on the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast.
Giulia also travels to Erchie, Furore, Maiori, Massa Lubrense, Minori, Nerano, Piano di Sorrento and Praiano.
