I paint the wall
From €400 per m² for a simple motif, more for very detailed work. We set the date together.
Practical questions before commissioning a mural
The questions that come up most often.
I’d like a mural or a painting on a wall of my home in Camogli — 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 Camogli 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 and revisions are included: Giulia shows the work in progress so you adjust it together, during the project rather than at the end. 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 Camogli?
All year round indoors, and from spring to autumn outdoors in most regions. Giulia sets the date with you when she quotes, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves.
A mural for this place
In Camogli the houses rise to six floors because space was scarce, and their facades have been painted in trompe-l'oeil since the sixteenth century: false balconies, cornices and shutters in a green almost identical to real wood. The colour served the sailors first, who could recognise their own house from out at sea. At the end of the eighteenth century, when the Republic of Genoa taxed windows, false ones were painted instead. The technique reached its peak between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, and Camogli holds the densest concentration of it in Liguria.
What Giulia brings to Camogli. Camogli is the village where Giulia's trade grew up as everyday practice: painting windows, shutters and cornices on a wall so they can be seen from far away. 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.

Frequently asked questions about murals in Camogli
How much does a mural cost in Camogli?
In Camogli the rate reflects a high-end destination: €400 per square metre for a simple motif, €600 for a detailed subject, €800 for a trompe l'oeil or ceiling. The quote is free : see all prices.
What subject works well for a mural in Camogli?
In the tall harbour houses and rooms facing the sea, a botanical motif, a landscape or a trompe-l'oeil window sit well with the village's painted facades. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
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 Camogli?
Yes, with surface preparation and quartz paint, made for outdoor walls. In Camogli the sea is close and salt is constant: an anti-salt varnish is added on request. The best period runs from spring to autumn.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Camogli?
For an interior wall, no. For a facade visible from the street, you generally need the owner's or building association's agreement, and a notice to the municipality if the building sits in a protected zone, as is often the case in the old centre. Giulia explains the process before starting.
How long does it take to paint a mural?
It depends on the surface and the level of detail: a simple motif in a bedroom takes a few days, a large composition or a facade longer. 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?
An acrylic mural lasts for decades 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.
