Murals in Cortina d’Ampezzo
Cortina d’Ampezzo is a high-mountain destination where high-end real estate demand is growing fast, driven by the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics: independent chalets, barns converted into panoramic residences, apartments with Dolomite views. In Cortina d’Ampezzo, Giulia paints for renovated chalets, boutique hotels, and residences. 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 Cortina d’Ampezzo. 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.
In Cortina d’Ampezzo, Giulia also paints live in front of an audience: a mountain wedding, a chalet evening or a company retreat. The canvas starts blank and ends signed, ready to hang. From 950 € for a wedding, from 900 € for a company evening, from 400 € for a performance at a concert. For a wedding, the reception venues are gathered on the live wedding painting in the Dolomites page.

How do I commission a mural in Cortina d’Ampezzo?
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 Cortina d’Ampezzo, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Cortina d’Ampezzo, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
Does the price of a mural in Cortina d’Ampezzo include the materials?
With Giulia Dal Bon, the 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 Cortina d’Ampezzo, 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 Cortina d’Ampezzo 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. To have a wall painted in Cortina d’Ampezzo, the guide Who to hire to have a wall painted explains the words of the craft and how to choose.
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 Cortina d’Ampezzo?
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 Cortina d’Ampezzo be painted on a wall?
Yes. A painted view lives first of all on its lines. The bell tower in the middle of town, the pink walls of the Dolomites at sunset, the wooden chalets and the snow on the roofs. Giulia Dal Bon composes the view for the wall in front of her. As a line drawing, 400 € per sqm; painted in colour, 600 € per sqm. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Cortina d’Ampezzo?
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 Cortina d’Ampezzo?
Yes, with surface preparation suited to a mountain climate. Giulia paints outdoors all year round, on a dry wall and in mild weather.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Cortina d’Ampezzo?
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 chalet 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.

Where Giulia works in Cortina d’Ampezzo
In Cortina d’Ampezzo, for a private client, in a villa, an apartment or a chalet, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen. She also paints the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell. A ceiling is painted like a wall, working overhead. Outside, on the exterior facade, she works in quartz paint. She also paints on a mobile panel, when the wall belongs to someone else.
In a restaurant in Cortina d’Ampezzo, she paints the dining-room wall, and service carries on while she works. In a hotel, she paints the lobbies, the corridors and the rooms. In a spa, she paints the treatment-room walls and the reception area.
Whether your wall is on Corso Italia, in Fiames, in Pocol or in Zuel, a photo of it and its dimensions are enough to start: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto the photo.
As for the subject, Giulia draws what you want to see on that particular wall: a landscape, a floral or botanical motif, a painted sky on a ceiling, a perspective trompe-l’oeil, figures, animals, lettering or a painted sign. She also reproduces an existing work. Two sketches come to you before the first brushstroke.
Possible subjects in Cortina d’Ampezzo: the wooden chalets and the snow on the roofs, the bell tower in the middle of town, the pink walls of the Dolomites at sunset. A trompe-l’oeil window, a botanical motif and a painted sky work just as well.
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 Cortina d’Ampezzo, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Cortina d’Ampezzo is a high-end alpine destination, with fast-growing real estate demand tied to the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
Giulia also travels to San Vito di Cadore, to Borca di Cadore, to Auronzo di Cadore, to Pieve di Cadore, to Colle Santa Lucia, to Livinallongo del Col di Lana and throughout the Dolomites.
