CURIOSITY & QUESTIONS
A small collection of the most frequently asked questions about my work.
If you would like to have one of my works, and you are wondering about things, know that you can try to get an answer here.
I am not an oracle, but in case you still have a question you can always contact me, by email or whatsapp.
alessandra.gh@gmail.com or 3703048989 (wa or sms).
I do, indeed, accept questions via carrier pigeons and stamp mail!
It depends. On what?

We can range from a minimum of 200 euros to 1,000 per square metre.
The original design, i.e. the time I spend making your wish visible, looking for images, processing them, drawing up some sketches, then sketching, then finalising them, is the most valuable.
So if you would like a decoration or a mural
designed especially for you will cost more.
If you ask to meet me, we can get to know each other and I will gladly do an assessment of your wall or door or whatever, but then if you ask me to start drawing it is already a job.
Unless you have done this work yourself, and then I become just a doer.
Nothing, you just pay for the sketches and the research.
Sure, you paid for them. They're yours. Usually, though, they're all focused on the final work and in the end I keep them.
Without my consent NO. All works are protected by copyright, and if you publish them you are obliged to mention my name and surname. Even if they are now yours.
Absolutely not! The design is exclusive, no one may have reproduced it.
Unless it is a styled decoration, then that is repertoire and another matter.
If scaffolding is required we will call in a scaffolding company, an architect will also have to be paid for safety, and in the case of outdoor scaffolding also the fee for occupying public land.
If you can't do all this yourself, I can do it for you and also pay for the contact and bureaucratic work.
Of course, I am insured and can do this work and climb fixed and mobile scaffolding.
NO, I do not have the DURC. I am an individual company and therefore I do not have to register with the Chamber of Commerce.
Yes, I make an invoice, with an easy regime without VAT.
Yes, if I carry out work on the facade or interior of a block of flats, for example, I can be declared as extraordinary maintenance work.
By bank transfer, traceable. 30 % upon signing the contract, the rest upon completion of the work.
Of course, I can accept payment in other forms, if you really have no possibilities.
You can lend me your holiday home for a month, pay me in food, or professional supplies.
You can always propose instalment payments as well, on mutual trust.
It depends. I have a network of collaborators. For very big jobs and scaffolding, there are usually two of us.
Either with the ancient dusting technique, or as you see in the picture, the giant cardboards are fixed on the wall and then I put the drawing back on with graphite paper, a kind of giant carbon paper for walls.
This depends on many factors, including mood or unforeseen events (trivially rain and wind if outdoors).
You pay for the work, not the time it takes. I don't calculate the day.
Of course, there are cases in which the end is a must, dismantling scaffolding, official inaugurations.
I don't keep classic construction site hours. Sometimes I also work on Saturdays and Sundays or in the evenings until midnight. (It has happened).
Use of professional colour protectors, which guarantee the durability of the colours and protect them from rain, smog and especially the sun's rays.
Of course, I have often worked outside the city, so food and accommodation will be included in the quote! Local sweets are welcome....
