A mural approach shaped by this place
Cap-d’Ail sits right against Monaco, with the same residents and different prices. Many buildings have lobbies and shared areas still waiting for a first decoration. A painted lobby changes the impression of a whole building at a fraction of a renovation’s cost. Direct seafront: exterior work needs a salt-blocking primer and the building association’s approval before any quote. To start, a photo of the wall and its measurements are enough: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto it, then comes to paint on site.
What Giulia brings to Cap-d’Ail. 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. She paints with a brush, in odourless acrylic indoors and quartz paint outdoors, and Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have covered her work. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.

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 Cap-d’Ail?
Giulia Dal Bon charges by the square metre: 150 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, 250 € for a fully painted subject, 350 € for trompe-l’oeil or a ceiling. A small mural in a bedroom costs less than a facade that needs preparation and scaffolding. The quote is free: see all prices.
Can a view of Cap-d’Ail be painted on a wall?
Yes. What draws the city comes down to a few elements. The coastal path between the rocks, the pines leaning over the water, the villas on the slope and Monaco right next door. Giulia Dal Bon works with a brush, on the wall itself. A line-drawn view is 150 € per sqm, the same view fully painted from 250 €. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Cap-d’Ail?
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 Cap-d’Ail?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Direct seafront and strong glare. Exterior work needs a salt-blocking primer, and the building association’s approval before any quote.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Cap-d’Ail?
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. 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.

Murals for hotels and boutiques
Giulia Dal Bon paints murals for hotels, boutiques, showrooms, and hospitality spaces.
Hotel and boutique murals
Murals for children’s bedrooms
Murals for bedrooms, children’s rooms and smaller spaces: a landscape at the foot of the bed, a botanical motif around a window, a painted sky on the ceiling.
Children’s bedroom muralsIdeas for spaces
Depending on the space in Cap-d’Ail, the mural sits on a single panel of wall or covers the whole room: a simple or floral motif for a bedroom, a figurative scene for a living room, painted decor that follows the mouldings, or all four walls in one piece. Giulia draws from the wall she has seen.
Houses and villas
Bedrooms, living rooms, stairwells, entrances, hallways and ceilings. Example: a building lobby of 14 sqm fully painted, around 3 500 €.
Hotels, restaurants and shops
Restaurant rooms, hotel bedroom walls, shop windows, shutters, lobbies and offices. A hand-painted mural belongs to this place alone, and it is what people remember about it. Example: a neighbourhood shop wall of 8 sqm in a simple motif, around 1 200 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Sea air attacks facades. Giulia applies a salt-blocking primer and a UV-resistant finish, so the colours keep their brightness. For a facade visible from the street, the owner’s or the building association’s approval is usually enough, plus a notice to the town hall in a protected zone. From 150 € per sqm, plus scaffolding if needed.

Where Giulia works in Cap-d’Ail
In Cap-d’Ail, for a private client, in a house, a villa, a second home or a flat, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the children’s bedroom and the bedroom. The same work applies to the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell. A ceiling is painted the same way, from the scaffold. Outside, on the exterior facade and the garden wall, she works in quartz paint. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Cap-d’Ail, she paints the dining-room wall, and the tables stay laid. In a boutique and a shop, the painted window is seen from the street, and the shutter stays painted after closing. In a hotel and a B&B, she paints reception, the stairwell and the bedrooms. In a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the treatment-room walls and the reception area. In a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the wall you face while you wait. In an office and a showroom, she paints the wall you see on the way in, and the one at the far end. A cellar is painted too, right down its stairs.
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 Cap-d’Ail: the villas on the slope and Monaco right next door, the coastal path between the rocks, the pines leaning over the water. Alongside these, a trompe-l’oeil window, a botanical motif or a painted sky remain possible.
A mural is also called a wall mural, an artistic painting on a wall, a wall decoration. People say mural decoration, decorative painting, trompe-l’oeil, hand-painted wall, drawing on a wall, or a painting made directly on the wall: in every case someone paints the wall by hand, layer after layer. In Cap-d’Ail, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Building associations and residences are a particular kind of client: a painted lobby changes the impression of a whole building, at a fraction of what a renovation costs. Seafront villas ask instead for interiors and garden walls.
Giulia also travels to La Turbie, Peille, Sainte-Agnès, Gorbio and Sospel.
