A mural approach shaped by this place
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is almost entirely residential: large villas with grounds, pools, pool houses, garden walls and private halls. Giulia paints living rooms here, and sheltered outdoor surfaces too. Garden walls and pool houses take salt and chlorine, so the finish has to be washable. 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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. 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 covered her work, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci stands 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.
What Giulia brings to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
Villa Santo Sospir was built between 1931 and 1935 in the Mediterranean regional style. In 1950 Francine Weisweiller, its owner, invited Jean Cocteau to spend his holidays there: he began drawing on the walls and, little by little, covered the 320 square metres of the house, in charcoal, pencil and colour, until it became the « tattooed villa ». He came back to paint, write and film there until his death in 1963.
In Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, wall painting therefore has a famous precedent: a whole house drawn onto the very skin of its walls, for the people who lived in it. That is the spirit of a commissioned mural. Giulia Dal Bon paints with a brush in the villas, flats and hotels of the cape, using odourless acrylic colours indoors, quartz paint and anti-salt varnish outdoors, and signs the work if you wish. Prestige rate from 400 € per sqm, free quote within 48 hours.
In Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Giulia also paints live in front of an audience: a wedding, a private evening or a brand event. The canvas starts blank and ends signed, ready to hang. From 950 € for a wedding, from 400 € for a performance. See live painting →
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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
Giulia Dal Bon charges by the square metre: 400 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, 600 € for a fully painted subject, 800 € 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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
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 400 € per sqm in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
In Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, garden walls and pool houses, sheltered from the weather. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
Does it damage the wall?
The paint goes onto the plaster already in place. Dusting it down is usually enough. If the surface has cracks or rising damp, Giulia flags it before quoting.
Can I see the design before saying yes?
Always. You get a sketch mounted on the photo of your wall, to scale, with the quote. You confirm whenever you are ready, and she adjusts the design with you.
Can a view of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat be painted on a wall?
Yes. Three or four landmarks are enough to recognise it. The harbour and its boats, the umbrella pines of the cape, the Villa Santo Sospir built between 1931 and 1935, and the sea visible on both sides of the peninsula. Giulia Dal Bon works with a brush, on the wall itself. A line-drawn view is 400 € per sqm, the same view fully painted from 600 €. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Garden walls and pool houses take salt and chlorine. Exterior work needs a washable, resistant finish.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
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.

Giulia draws from the wall she has seen.
Houses and villas

Hotels, restaurants and shops
Hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, spas, building lobbies and waiting rooms. A hand-painted mural belongs to this place alone, and it is what people remember about it. Example: a private villa hall of 10 sqm in trompe-l’oeil, around 8 000 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Sea air attacks facades. A salt-blocking primer and a UV-resistant finish keep the colours bright in sun and sea air.

From 400 € per sqm, plus scaffolding if needed.

Where Giulia works in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
In Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 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. 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. 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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 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. For a hotel and a B&B, she paints the entrance hall and the rooms, one by one. In a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the wall you look at while you wait. 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 vaulted cellar takes the same paint, right up to the ceiling.
As for the subject, Giulia draws what you want to see on that particular wall: a landscape, a floral or botanical motif, a painted sky on a ceiling, a perspective trompe-l’oeil, figures, animals, lettering or a painted sign. She also reproduces an existing work. Two sketches come to you before the first brushstroke.
Possible subjects in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat: the sea visible on both sides of the peninsula, the harbour and its boats, the umbrella pines of the cape, the Villa Santo Sospir built between 1931 and 1935. And anywhere, a trompe-l’oeil window, botanicals and a painted sky find their place.
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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is almost entirely residential: large villas with grounds, pools, pool houses, garden walls and private halls.
Giulia also travels to La Turbie, Peille, Saint-Jeannet, La Gaude, Saint-Laurent-du-Var and Villeneuve-Loubet.
