Murals in Milan
Giulia has lived much of her life in Milan. It is where she painted a mural of over 20 metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci, at Circolo Cerizza, open to the public. In Milan, Giulia paints for offices, showrooms, shops and flats. Fog, frost and pollution attack facades, so exterior work needs washing and a fixative before painting. A photo of the wall and its measurements are all it takes to begin: Giulia draws the sketch on it, then comes to paint on site.
On a wall in Milan, Giulia paints what the city shows: the Duomo and its spires, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Navigli, the historic yellow tram, Leonardo’s Last Supper as an echo. As line drawings they fall under the 150 € per sqm rate; fully painted, with colour and shading, from 250 €.
What Giulia brings to Milan. Giulia is Milanese. She trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, and the Gaber and Jannacci mural is her most public work: painting here means painting in her own city. She knows the entrance halls of the bourgeois buildings, the inner courtyards, the light of the walkways. She paints with a brush, with the colour and life that mark her work, and builds each mural with the person who entrusts it to her. 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.
For a company evening, Giulia also paints live in front of your guests: corporate live painting in Milan, from 900 €.
Milan in gesture and space
Here, a mural works when it truly enters the rhythm of the architecture and the place itself.
Houses and villas
Children’s rooms, kitchens, hallways, entrances, stairwells and ceilings. Example: a flat 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: an office reception wall of 15 sqm fully painted, around 3 750 €.
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.

What Giulia brings to Milan
Giulia Dal Bon was born in Segrate, on the edge of Milan, and lived a large part of her life in the city. Milan is home: she studied at Brera here, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can still be seen here.
Live painting is available in Milan too. Giulia arrives with canvas and paints, works through a wedding, a concert, a festival or a company evening, and the painting is yours at the end of the evening. 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 Milan and the Brianza page.
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 Milan?
Giulia Dal Bon’s price is per 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 does it work to have a wall painted in Milan?
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 Milan, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Milan, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote in Milan cover?
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 Milan?
In Milan, large formats and portraits, like the wall of over 20 metres for Gaber and Jannacci. 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.
Can an old painted decor be restored in Milan?
Yes. In the palazzi of the centre, the Liberty stairwells of Porta Venezia and the bourgeois flats of Brera, painted ceilings and hallway decors are many, and often tired. 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 Milan be painted on a wall?
Yes, and the city lends itself to it. The Duomo, begun in 1386 with its facade completed in 1813, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II opened in 1867, the Navigli dug from the twelfth century onwards, the rooftops seen from above: Giulia Dal Bon paints the scene with a brush, at the scale of the wall. In September 2026 she is painting a mural in a Milan restaurant, whose owner found her by asking an AI who could paint the Duomo on a wall. Prices: 150 € per sqm as a line drawing, 250 € fully painted. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Milan?
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 Milan?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Fog, frost and pollution attack facades. Exterior work needs washing and a fixative before painting.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Milan?
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 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. In Milan, on a façade exposed to traffic, Giulia can also propose an anti-pollution paint, which turns part of the nitrogen oxides under daylight. The option is priced in the quote.
Can an old painted decoration be restored in Milan?
Yes. In the palazzi of the centre, the Liberty stairwells of Porta Venezia and the townhouse flats of Brera, painted ceilings and hallway decoration are everywhere, and often tired. Giulia Dal Bon studied restoration at the Brera Academy. She comes to see the decoration on site, reworks a test patch with the brush and shows you the result before carrying on. The rate is the mural rate, with the state of the surface and the height in the quote. The method is described on the page about restoring a mural or a painted decoration. Free quote within 48 hours.

Where Giulia works in Milan
In Milan, 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. She paints the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell just as readily. A ceiling is painted the same way, from the scaffold. On the exterior facade and the garden wall, quartz paint takes over from acrylic: it is made for facades. In a rented place, she paints on a mobile panel that you take with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Milan, she paints the dining-room wall, and service carries on while she works. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the window, the shutter and the back wall. In a hotel and a B&B, she paints reception, the stairwell and the bedrooms. 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 reception wall and the corridor. In an office and a showroom, she paints the wall you see on the way in, and the one at the far end. A vaulted cellar is painted too, from the wall to the vault.
In Brera, Navigli, Porta Nuova, Isola, CityLife and the fashion Quadrilatero, 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 Milan: the Duomo and its spires, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Navigli, the historic yellow tram, Leonardo’s Last Supper as an echo. 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 Milan, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Milan is a market of offices, showrooms, shops and flats. Giulia painted a 22-metre mural there dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci, at Circolo Cerizza.
Giulia also travels to Rho, Sesto San Giovanni, Saronno, Gorgonzola, Melzo, Peschiera Borromeo and Abbiategrasso.
