Tips

Antonino Pigafetta

December 22, 2022

A small town located on the border with Switzerland, Viggiù is known as the "Town of artists" due to the large number of sculptors to whom it gave birth or who learned the art of working with stone in it.
Characterized by a contained historic center, marked mostly by farmhouses and railing houses, it is still possible to come across courtyards in which once stood the sculpture and modeling workshops or, more simply, stone carver and rougher workshops . Plasters, sketches, drawings and frescoes with heterogeneous subjects are therefore the heritage that is sometimes hidden in the historic center and which is offered to the view of the most curious tourists.
