A mural approach shaped by this place
Segrate is the town Giulia comes from: the Italian press introduced her as the artist from Segrate when her Gaber and Jannacci mural was unveiled. The area combines company headquarters, offices, international schools and the houses of Milano Due. Same climate as Milan: outdoors, Giulia paints on a dry wall in mild weather, after washing the surface. 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 Segrate. 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.
In Segrate, Giulia painted the mural on the bowls-club house, commissioned by the town for the city festival “Io sono Segrate”, with the FGA association. It is a public commission, documented on the town’s own website.
What Giulia brings to Segrate
Giulia Dal Bon was born in Segrate, and lived a large part of her life in Milan. She has known these streets, these buildings and this light of the plain since long before painting them: here, she was born.
The Palazzo Mondadori was built in Segrate between 1968 and 1975 to designs by Oscar Niemeyer, who modelled it on the Foreign Ministry in Brasília at the express request of Giorgio Mondadori. A glass box of five office floors hung from a giant order of parabolic arches in reinforced concrete, set in a park by Pietro Porcinai and surrounded by an artificial lake that doubles its rhythm. It is one of the most important modern buildings in Italy.
Segrate is therefore a town where contemporary architecture has become part of everyday surroundings, among houses, offices and company headquarters. Giulia Dal Bon paints there with a brush, in flats, villas, offices and reception areas, using odourless acrylic colours indoors: the place stays open while she works. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48 hours.
Giulia also paints live in Segrate. 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 Segrate?
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 Segrate?
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 Segrate, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Segrate, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote in Segrate cover?
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 Segrate?
In Segrate, Giulia paints reception and meeting room designs for companies and for schools. 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 Segrate be painted on a wall?
Yes, and it is a subject that sits well on a large wall. Niemeyer’s Palazzo Mondadori and its arches above the pool, the park around it, and the residential districts Giulia comes from. Giulia Dal Bon draws them, then paints them, by hand. The line alone falls under 150 € per sqm, the painted version under 250 €. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Segrate?
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 Segrate?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Same climate as Milan. Outdoors, Giulia paints on a dry wall in mild weather, after washing the surface.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Segrate?
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.

Children’s bedroom muralsIdeas for spaces
Depending on the space in Segrate, the mural sits on a single panel of wall or covers the whole room: a simple or floral motif for a bedroom, a figurative scene for a living room, painted decor that follows the mouldings, or all four walls in one piece. Giulia draws from the wall she has seen.
Houses and villas
Children’s rooms, kitchens, hallways, entrances, stairwells and ceilings. Example: a children’s bedroom 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 corporate reception wall of 20 sqm fully painted, around 5 000 €.
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 Segrate
In Segrate, 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 also paints the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell. A ceiling is painted the same way, from the scaffold. Outside, on the exterior facade and the garden wall, she works in quartz paint. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Segrate, she paints the dining-room wall, and service carries on while she works. 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. For a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the cabin, changing-room and reception walls. For a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the entrance and the waiting area. For an office and a showroom, she paints reception, the corridor and the meeting room. A vaulted cellar takes the same paint, right up to the ceiling.
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 Segrate: the residential districts Giulia comes from, Niemeyer’s Palazzo Mondadori and its arches above the pool, the park around it. And anywhere, a trompe-l’oeil window, botanicals and a painted sky find their place.
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 Segrate.
Segrate is a corporate and residential area east of Milan: headquarters, offices, international schools and the houses of Milano Due.
Giulia also travels to Peschiera Borromeo, Melzo, Gorgonzola, Sesto San Giovanni and Rho.
