Murals in Menton
In Menton, Giulia Dal Bon paints with a brush, from a bedroom wall to a restaurant facade. She paints in hillside villas, town-centre flats, old town houses, and seafront hotels and restaurants. In May 2026, she painted a mural dedicated to the lemons of the Riviera for the restaurant 430 Gradi da Anastasio, in Menton, covered by Montecarlonews.it. Menton has the mildest, most sheltered climate on the French Riviera: Giulia paints a facade or a garden wall there all year round. She travels just as easily anywhere else to paint.
Menton gives a wall its own subjects: the lemons and citrus gardens, the basilica of Saint-Michel and its pebble forecourt, the ochre facades of the old town, the Fête du Citron, the Serre de la Madone garden. As line drawings they fall under the 150 € per sqm rate; fully painted, with colour and shading, from 250 €.
What Giulia brings to Menton. Menton is the town where Cocteau left his mark, from the wedding hall to the museum that bears his name. She knows the light here, the walls, the people. She brings the colour and the joy you see in her murals, and builds each mural through long conversation with whoever commissions it. 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 at weddings: she sets up her easel during the cocktail hour and the painting stays with the couple. From 950 €, see live wedding painting on the French Riviera.
Giulia also paints live in Menton. For a seaside wedding, a summer evening or a birthday, 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 →
Menton through soft light and gardens
Three concrete examples in Menton, with surface area and indicative price.
Houses and villas
Children’s rooms, kitchens, hallways, entrances, stairwells and ceilings. Example: a bedroom wall of 8 sqm in a simple motif, around 1 200 €.
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 restaurant dining room of 15 sqm fully painted, around 3 750 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Wind is blocked here, but sea humidity remains. A salt-blocking primer and a UV-resistant finish are enough. 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 Menton?
Giulia Dal Bon paints 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 in Menton?
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 in Menton, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Menton, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does the price of a mural in Menton include?
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.
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 Menton?
In Menton, botanical and floral motifs, because many walls face a garden, a courtyard or a terrace. 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.
Is there a better time of year in Menton?
The Lemon Festival (Fête du Citron) takes place every February and draws large crowds to the town. For a mural ready in time for it, it is best to write a few weeks ahead. The rest of the year, timing stays flexible.
Can an old painted decor be restored in Menton?
Yes. In the villas on the hills and the buildings of the old town, painted ceilings and trompe-l’oeil facades have often lost their colours to sun and salt. Giulia Dal Bon, trained at the Brera Academy where she studied restoration, comes to see it, runs a test on a sample area and shows you the result before going further. The rate follows that of the murals; the condition of the wall and the height are added to the quote. The page restore a mural or a painted decor sets out the method. Free quote within 48 hours.
Can a view of Menton be painted on a wall?
Yes. A painted view lives first of all on its lines. The basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange, whose foundation stone was laid on 27 May 1619 and which was built from 1640 to 1653 by the Genoese Laurent Lavagna, its forecourt of 250,000 pebbles across 170 square metres bearing the Grimaldi arms, and the ochre facades of the old town above the sea. Giulia Dal Bon composes the view for the wall in front of her. As a line drawing, 150 € per sqm; painted in colour, 250 € per sqm. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Menton?
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 Menton?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Menton’s sheltered climate is the mildest on the coast. Exterior work is possible almost year-round, outside rainy spells.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Menton?
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.
Can an old painted decoration be restored in Menton?
Yes. In the hillside villas and the old-town buildings, painted ceilings and trompe-l’oeil façades have lost their colour under the sun and the salt. Giulia Dal Bon, trained at the Brera Academy where she studied restoration, comes to see it, tries a test patch and shows you the result before going further. The rate follows the mural rate; the state of the wall and the height are added to the quote. The page on restoring a mural or a painted decoration sets out the method. Free quote within 48 hours.

Where Giulia works in Menton
In Menton, 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. The ceiling is painted too: that is the €350 per sqm band, with trompe-l’oeil. Outdoors, she uses quartz paint on the exterior facade and the garden wall, with a protective varnish to finish. She also paints on a mobile panel, to carry the painting elsewhere.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Menton, she paints the dining-room wall, and the tables stay laid. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the shop window and the shutter, a front you recognise from down the street. In a hotel and a B&B, she paints the lobbies, the corridors and the rooms. In a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the walls of the cabins and of the main room. 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 reception wall and the meeting rooms. A vaulted cellar takes the same paint, right up to the ceiling.
In Vieille Ville, Garavan, Carnolès and Borrigo, you send her a photo of the wall and she draws the sketch straight onto it, then you shape the idea together.
Possible subjects in Menton: the lemons and citrus gardens, the basilica of Saint-Michel and its pebble forecourt, the ochre facades of the old town, the Fête du Citron, the Serre de la Madone garden. And always the trompe-l’oeil window, the botanical motif and the painted sky on a ceiling.
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 Menton, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
In Menton, Giulia paints among citrus gardens, ochre facades in the old town, hillside villas, seafront hotels and shops.
Giulia also travels to the French Riviera, to Monaco, to Nice and to Sanremo.
