Murals shaped for Piedmont
The Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy, built in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, were listed by UNESCO on 4 July 2003: nine groups of chapels covered in frescoes and filled with eight hundred life-size polychrome terracotta statues. The one at Varallo, begun in the fifteenth century, is the oldest in the Alpine arc. Piedmont runs from the palaces of Turin to the cellars of the Langhe, with converted farmhouses, guesthouses and village shops in between. Clients here are residential rather than tourist-driven, and murals are decided in any season. Giulia paints outdoors all year round, 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 Piedmont. 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.
In Piedmont, Giulia also paints live in front of an audience: a wedding, a concert or a company evening. 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. See live painting →
Piedmont between atmosphere and material
Here, murals often meet walls that ask for tone, depth, and a slower pace.
Houses and villas
Bedrooms, living rooms, stairwells, entrances, hallways and ceilings. Example: a farmhouse living room wall of 10 sqm in a simple motif, around 1 500 €.
Hotels, restaurants and shops
Restaurant rooms, hotel bedroom walls, shop windows, shutters, lobbies and offices. A hand-painted mural belongs to this place alone, and it is what people remember about it. Example: a tasting room of 15 sqm fully painted, around 3 750 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Giulia paints outdoors all year round, on a fully dry wall and in mild weather, so the paint holds through frost. 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 Piedmont?
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 does it work to have a wall painted shaped for Piedmont?
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 Piedmont, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place shaped for Piedmont, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote shaped for Piedmont 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.
What kind of mural works well in Piedmont?
In Piedmont, cellar and converted farmhouse designs, and the ceilings of Turin’s palaces. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
Does it damage the wall?
Giulia paints on the existing plaster after a simple clean. If the wall is cracked or damp, she says so before the quote and explains what needs fixing. An acrylic mural can be painted over later like any wall paint.
Can I see the design before saying yes?
Yes, always. Giulia sends a digital sketch laid over the photo of your wall, with a detailed quote. The first two sketches are free, and she adjusts them with you.
What subject works well for a mural in Piedmont?
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 Piedmont?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. All year round, Giulia also paints outdoors, on a dry wall and in mild weather.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Piedmont?
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 Piedmont
In Piedmont, for a private client, 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 asks for more work, and she paints it gladly. On the exterior facade and the garden wall, quartz paint takes over from acrylic: it is made for facades. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Piedmont, she paints the dining-room wall, and the tables stay laid. In a boutique and a shop, the painted window is seen from the street, and the shutter stays painted after closing. In a hotel and a B&B, the painted wall gives each room its own subject. In a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the treatment-room walls and the reception area. 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 reception wall and the meeting rooms. A cellar is painted as well, vault included.
The subject is decided together. A landscape opens up the far end of a room, a floral or botanical motif runs along a wall, a painted sky fills a ceiling, a perspective trompe-l’oeil draws a window on a solid wall. Giulia also paints figures, animals, lettering, painted signs, and reproduces an existing work when you ask her to.
Possible subjects in Piedmont: the Langhe hills covered in vines, the frescoed chapels of the Sacri Monti, the brick roofs and the rice fields around Vercelli. And always the trompe-l’oeil window, the botanical motif and the painted sky on a ceiling.
People ask for different things and mean the same one: a mural, a wall mural, an artistic painting on a wall. Others say wall decoration, decorative painting, mural decoration. Others again a trompe-l’oeil, a hand-painted wall, a drawing on a wall, or a painting made directly on the wall. It is one craft, that of a mural artist, a muralist, a decorative painter, and Giulia does it with a brush in Piedmont.
Piedmont runs from the palaces of Turin to the cellars of the Langhe, with shops, restaurants, guesthouses and converted farmhouses.
Giulia also travels to Turin, to Alba, to Cuneo and to Lake Maggiore.
Around Turin she works in Turin, Moncalieri, Rivoli, Chieri, Pinerolo, Ivrea, Chivasso, Alba, Bra, Asti, Alessandria, Casale Monferrato, Acqui Terme, Novi Ligure, Tortona, Vercelli, Novara, Arona, Stresa, Verbania, Domodossola, Biella, Cuneo, Saluzzo, Fossano, Mondovì, Cherasco, La Morra, Barolo, Barbaresco, Canelli, Nizza Monferrato and Santa Maria Maggiore.
In the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, Giulia travels to Alba, to Barolo, to La Morra, to Monforte d’Alba, to Neive, to Barbaresco, to Cherasco, to Bra, to Grinzane Cavour, to Asti, to Canelli, to Nizza Monferrato, to Casale Monferrato, to Acqui Terme and to Alessandria.
Towards the lakes and the north, Giulia travels to Novara, to Vercelli, to Biella, to Varallo, to Orta San Giulio, to Stresa, to Baveno, to Verbania, to Cannobio and to Domodossola.
In the valleys and the south, Giulia travels to Cuneo, to Saluzzo, to Savigliano, to Fossano, to Mondovì, to Limone Piemonte, to Sestriere and to Bardonecchia.
