Beautiful very quiet village to visit.

In Volpedo, the nineteenth-century physiognomy is easily recognizable and allows the visitor to follow an itinerary between art and landscape on the Pelzzino places. We therefore start from the Studio built by Pellizza in 1888, after having decided to live and work in his native country, while remaining in contact with the great international artistic currents. The atelier, which was for the artist a place of work but also of study and meeting with friends, when it was not possible for him to paint en plein air, is open to the public and presents itself as a precious container of Pellizza's memories. The painter's places come to life through the large-format reproductions of ten works scattered throughout the village and placed in selected points, in direct comparison with the landscape glimpses that inspired them. In this open-air museum, the continuous comparison between today and yesterday prompts recourse to the power of art, which gradually manifests itself along the way.

The name
The toponym derives from the Latin vicus (village) and is attested in the X century. as vicopicolo, i.e. a small village, and in the sec. XII as Vicus Pecudis, village of herds (from dapecus, sheep, cattle).
