Murals in Turin
Turin is a city of arcades, historic cafes and high-ceilinged flats, with a dense fabric of offices and neighbourhood shops. Its bourgeois buildings have halls and stairwells often left bare for a century. Giulia paints outdoors all year round, on a dry wall and in mild weather. 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 Turin, Giulia paints what the city shows: the Mole Antonelliana, the arcades of via Roma, the Alps at the end of the streets, the Venaria Reale, the basilica of Superga. As line drawings they fall under the 150 € per sqm rate; fully painted, with colour and shading, from 250 €.
What Giulia brings to Turin. 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.
Live painting is available in Turin 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, everything is on the live wedding painting in Turin page.
For a company evening, Giulia also paints live in front of your guests: corporate live painting in Turin, from 900 €.
Turin through perspective and atmosphere
Here, a mural often works with deep corridors, tall rooms, and a more restrained kind of presence.
Houses and villas
Children’s rooms, kitchens, hallways, entrances, stairwells and ceilings. Example: a living room ceiling of 12 sqm in trompe-l’oeil, around 4 200 €.
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 historic cafe wall 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.
Murals district by district in Turin
Murals in the Quadrilatero Romano
The Quadrilatero Romano is the original core of Turin: the street grid of the Roman castrum, the Porta Palatina, then the seventeenth and eighteenth-century expansions with their small squares and churches at the end of alleys. Giulia Dal Bon paints restaurant walls, cellar vaults and shopfronts here, in odourless acrylic: service continues while she works. As the quarter is protected, a facade visible from the street needs a declaration. From 150 € per square metre, free quote within 48 hours.
Murals in San Salvario
San Salvario runs alongside the Parco del Valentino and remains the working-class, multicultural, night-time quarter of Turin, changed by twenty years of renewal while keeping its old apartment buildings. Giulia paints bar walls, restaurant rooms and stairwells here, on surfaces of 8 to 15 m². The odourless acrylic keeps the place open while she works.
Wall painting in Vanchiglia
Vanchiglia sits between the Mole Antonelliana and the Dora, with Borgo Rossini and its former industrial spaces turned into nightlife. It is the quarter of Turin where painted walls are most numerous. Giulia Dal Bon paints workshop walls, lobbies and courtyard facades here, in quartz paint outdoors with an anti-pollution varnish.
Murals in Borgo Po
Borgo Po climbs the far side of the river, with its antique dealers, galleries and garden villas looking back at Turin from the hill. Giulia paints ceilings, stairwells, covered terrace walls and pool walls here. Outdoors she works in quartz paint, made for exposed walls.
Murals in Porta Palazzo and Borgo Dora
Porta Palazzo holds the largest open-air market in Europe, and Borgo Dora its artisan courtyards and flea markets. Giulia Dal Bon paints roller shutters, shop walls and inner courtyards in this quarter of Turin. Metal needs preparation, priced in the quote. From 150 € per square metre, free quote within 48 hours.
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 Turin?
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 do I commission a mural in Turin?
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 Turin, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Turin, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
Does the price of a mural in Turin include the materials?
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 Turin?
In Turin, hall and ceiling designs, because the bourgeois buildings have great ceiling heights. 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 Turin be painted on a wall?
Yes, and it is a subject that sits well on a large wall. The Mole Antonelliana, raised from 1863 to 1889, the arcades of Via Roma, the Alps closing the horizon at the end of the straight streets. Giulia Dal Bon paints the scene with a brush, at the scale of the wall: 150 € per sqm as a line drawing, 250 € fully painted. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Turin?
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 Turin?
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. For a facade in Turin, the paint, the wall preparation and how long it lasts are explained in the mural paint and durability guide.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Turin?
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 Turin, 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 Turin?
Yes. Turin is a city of painted ceilings: the Venaria Reale reopened on 13 October 2007 after one of the largest restoration sites in Europe, and the townhouses of the centre carry the same decoration at flat scale, vaults, cornices and rosettes. Trained at the Brera Academy, where she studied restoration, Giulia Dal Bon starts with a test on a small area, shows you the result, and carries on with your agreement. The rate follows the mural rate; height and condition go into the quote. Everything is set out on the page about restoring a mural or a painted decoration. Free quote within 48 hours.

Where Giulia works in Turin
In Turin, 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. Outside, she switches to quartz paint on the exterior facade and the garden wall. 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 Turin, 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. 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 cellar is painted too, right down its stairs.
Whether your wall is in the city centre, in Crocetta, in San Salvario, in Vanchiglia or in Borgo Po, a photo of it and its dimensions are enough to start: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto the photo.
Possible subjects in Turin: the Mole Antonelliana, the arcades of via Roma, the Alps at the end of the streets, the Venaria Reale, the basilica of Superga. 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 Turin, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Turin is a city of arcades, historic cafes and high-ceilinged flats, with a fabric of offices and neighbourhood shops.
Giulia also travels to Moncalieri, Rivoli, Chieri, Pinerolo, Ivrea and Chivasso.
