Murals in Monza
Monza lives beside Milan. In Monza, Giulia paints for family homes, neighbourhood shops, offices and the hotels tied to the racetrack. Giulia paints outdoors all year round, on a dry wall and in mild weather. Giulia knows the area well, she comes from the eastern edge of Milan. 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.
In Monza, the subjects are right there: the Villa Reale and its 1780 facade, the park and its avenues, the Rotonda and its stucco, the Duomo and its bell tower, the courtyards of the old houses. As line drawings they fall under the 150 € per sqm rate; fully painted, with colour and shading, from 250 €.
What Giulia brings to Monza. 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.
What Giulia brings to Monza
The Villa Reale was commissioned in 1777 and completed in 1780 to designs by Giuseppe Piermarini. Its interior decoration was entrusted to the masters of the Brera Academy, founded only in 1776: Giocondo Albertolli for the stuccowork and the state rooms, Giuseppe Levati and Giuliano Traballesi for the frescoes and paintings, Giuseppe Maggiolini for the floors and furniture. The circular room is now called the Rotonda dell’Appiani, after the painter of the frescoes devoted to the myth of Cupid and Psyche.
Monza is therefore a town where painted walls were entrusted, from the very beginning, to those coming out of Brera. Giulia Dal Bon comes from the same school, two centuries later. She paints with a brush, using odourless acrylic colours indoors and quartz paint outdoors, in the villas, flats, practices and restaurants of the town. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48 hours.
Giulia also paints live in Monza. For a wedding, a birthday or a family celebration, 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. For a wedding, see live wedding painting in Milan and the Brianza.
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 Monza?
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 in Monza?
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 Monza, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Monza, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does the price of a mural in Monza include?
Giulia Dal Bon’s 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 Monza?
In Monza, family home and neighbourhood shop designs. 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 a view of Monza be painted on a wall?
Yes. Three or four landmarks are enough to recognise it. The Villa Reale commissioned in 1777 and completed in 1780 to Piermarini’s designs, its vast park, and the green and white marble bands of the Duomo. 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 Monza?
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 Monza?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Same climate as Milan, frost and damp. Giulia paints outdoors all year round, on a dry wall and in mild weather. Before having an outdoor wall painted in Monza, the mural paint and durability guide answers questions on paint, surface and lifespan.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Monza?
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?
The murals Giulia Dal Bon paints last 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.
Other spaces
The other places Giulia paints, her portfolio and the towns nearby.
Homes and villas
A bedroom, a hallway, a staircase: the walls you look at every day.
Home and villa murals
Restaurants, hotels, and boutiques
A painted wall gives the room its character, and the place stays open while she works.
Restaurant and café murals
Ideas for spaces
The mural can stay light or work on a broader wall. Everything depends on light, use, and the breathing space of the room.
Houses and villas
Children’s rooms, kitchens, hallways, entrances, stairwells and ceilings. Example: a children’s bedroom of 6 sqm in a simple motif, around 900 €.
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 shop window of 8 sqm in a simple motif, around 1 200 €.
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.

Where Giulia works in Monza
In Monza, 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 also paints the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell. A ceiling is painted the same way, from the scaffold. Outside, she switches to quartz paint on the exterior facade and the garden wall. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Monza, the painted wall is visible from every table. 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. For a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the entrance and the waiting area. 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.
Possible subjects in Monza: the Villa Reale and its 1780 facade, the park and its avenues, the Rotonda and its stucco, the Duomo and its bell tower, the courtyards of the old houses. 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 Monza, it is called a mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist, a decorative painter.
Monza lives beside Milan, with its family homes, neighbourhood shops, offices and hotels tied to the racetrack.
Giulia also travels to Sesto San Giovanni, Rho, Legnano, Busto Arsizio, Gallarate, Varese, Saronno and Lodi.
