Murals shaped for Lombardy
Between 1494 and 1498 Leonardo painted the Last Supper on the refectory wall of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan: four metres sixty by eight metres eighty. He set aside fresco, too fast for him, and worked in tempera on dry wall so he could come back and retouch day after day. The ensemble was listed by UNESCO in 1980. Lombardy holds Giulia’s Italian market: company headquarters and showrooms in Milan and Segrate, city flats in Monza and Bergamo, villas and hotels on Lake Como and Lake Maggiore. It is where she painted her mural of over 20 metres for Gaber and Jannacci. All year round, Giulia also paints outdoors, on a dry wall and in mild weather. 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 Lombardy. 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.
Giulia also paints live in Lombardy. For a wedding, a concert or a company evening, 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 900 € for a company evening, from 400 € for a performance at a concert. See live painting →
Lombardy between architecture and measure
Here, murals enter more structured interiors, where proportion and rhythm matter deeply.
Houses and villas
Children’s rooms, kitchens, hallways, entrances, stairwells and ceilings. Example: a living room wall of 10 sqm fully painted, around 2 500 €.
Hotels, restaurants and shops
Restaurants, cafes, shops, salons, showrooms, windows and commercial facades. A hand-painted mural belongs to this place alone, and it is what people remember about it. Example: a showroom wall of 20 sqm fully painted, around 5 000 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Fog, frost and pollution soil facades. Washing and a fixative are needed before painting. 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.
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 Lombardy?
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.
How do I get a mural painted in my home shaped for Lombardy?
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 150 € per sqm shaped for Lombardy, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place shaped for Lombardy, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does the price of a mural shaped for Lombardy include?
The square-metre price Giulia Dal Bon quotes 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.
Can I see the design before saying yes?
Yes. Before any agreement, Giulia shows you the sketch on a photo of your wall, with a detailed price. Two free sketches are proposed to you before you confirm, and she adjusts them with you.
What kind of mural works well in Lombardy?
In Lombardy, large formats for companies and classic designs for the lakeside villas. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
Does it damage the wall?
The wall stays intact. Acrylic bonds to a painted or plastered wall, which keeps its finish and needs only a light preparation. And if you change your mind in ten years, a roller of paint covers it.
What subject works well for a mural in Lombardy?
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 Lombardy?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Frost in winter, heat in summer. All year round, Giulia also paints outdoors, on a dry wall and in mild weather.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Lombardy?
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?
An acrylic mural by Giulia Dal Bon 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 Lombardy
In Lombardy, whether it is a house, a villa, a second home or a flat, she paints on an interior wall : the living room, the children’s bedroom and the bedroom. She paints the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell just as readily. A ceiling is painted like a wall, working overhead. Outside, on the exterior facade and the garden wall, she works in quartz paint. She also paints on a mobile panel, when the wall belongs to someone else.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Lombardy, the painted wall is visible from every table. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the window, the shutter and the back wall. In a hotel and a B&B, the painted wall gives each room its own subject. For a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the cabin, changing-room and reception walls. In a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the waiting room and the corridor leading to it. 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.
A wall can carry a landscape, a floral or botanical motif, lettering, a painted sign. A ceiling takes a sky. A perspective trompe-l’oeil opens a window or a corridor on a solid wall. Giulia also paints figures and animals, and reproduces a work on request.
Possible subjects in Lombardy: the inner courtyards and stairwells, the lake shores, the roofs of Milan and the brick bell towers. And always the trompe-l’oeil window, the botanical motif and the painted sky on a ceiling.
The craft goes by several names, and each of them is right about something. Mural and wall mural speak of the wall, wall decoration and mural decoration speak of the room, decorative painting speaks of the gesture, trompe-l’oeil speaks of the effect. A hand-painted wall, a drawing on a wall, a painting made directly on the wall: still the same thing. In Lombardy, it is called a mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist, a decorative painter.
In Lombardy, Giulia paints company headquarters, showrooms, business hotels, city flats and lakeside villas.
