A mural approach shaped by this place
Villefranche is made of ochre, pink and yellow facades packed around the bay. Colour is already part of the architecture, and a mural has to agree with it rather than fight it. The hotels and restaurants around the bay all share the same view; a mural is what gives one of them a face of its own. 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 Villefranche-sur-Mer. 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.

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 Villefranche-sur-Mer?
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.
Can a view of Villefranche-sur-Mer be painted on a wall?
Yes, and the city lends itself to it. The ochre, pink and yellow facades packed around the bay, the vaulted Rue Obscure, the citadel and the coloured boats at the foot of the houses. 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 Villefranche-sur-Mer?
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 Villefranche-sur-Mer?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. The bay is deep and the air very salty. An exterior mural needs a salt-blocking primer before any colour goes on.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Villefranche-sur-Mer?
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.

Hotel and boutique murals
Murals for children’s bedrooms
Murals for bedrooms, children’s rooms and smaller spaces: a landscape at the foot of the bed, a botanical motif around a window, a painted sky on the ceiling.
Children’s bedroom muralsIdeas for spaces
Depending on the space in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 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
Living rooms, bedrooms, entrances, verandas, ceilings and garden walls. Example: a stairwell of 10 sqm fully painted, around 2 500 €.
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 harbour restaurant wall of 14 sqm fully painted, around 3 500 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Sea air attacks facades. A salt-blocking primer and a UV-resistant finish protect the colours from sun and salt. 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 Villefranche-sur-Mer
In Villefranche-sur-Mer, 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 like a wall, working overhead. Outdoors, she uses quartz paint on the exterior facade and the garden wall, with a protective varnish to finish. 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 Villefranche-sur-Mer, the painted wall is visible from every table. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the window, the shutter and the back wall. 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. In a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the wall you face while you wait. 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 is painted too, from the wall to the vault.
The subject comes from you. Giulia draws a landscape, a floral or botanical motif, a painted sky on a ceiling, a perspective trompe-l’oeil. She paints figures and animals, letters signs and lettering by hand, and reproduces a work you love.
Possible subjects in Villefranche-sur-Mer: the citadel and the coloured boats at the foot of the houses, the ochre, pink and yellow facades packed around the bay, the vaulted Rue Obscure. Alongside these, a trompe-l’oeil window, a botanical motif or a painted sky remain possible.
Very different words lead to the same search: mural, wall mural, artistic painting on a wall, wall decoration, mural decoration, decorative painting. Trompe-l’oeil is one form of it, a hand-painted wall and a drawing on a wall are others, and some look for a painting made directly on the wall. Behind those words, one craft in Villefranche-sur-Mer: mural artist, muralist, wall artist, decorative painter.
Harbour restaurants and bayside hotels look for a way to stand out on a seafront where everyone shares the same view. The hillside villas ask instead for interiors, halls and garden walls.
Giulia also travels to La Turbie, Peille, Saint-Jeannet, La Gaude, Saint-Laurent-du-Var and Villeneuve-Loubet.
