"The Fourth Estate" (1901) by Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo is a famous oil on canvas depicting a march of laborers, set in Piazza Malaspina in Volpedo (Alessandria). A symbol of workers' struggle, the work combines Pointillist technique and social themes. It is now housed at the Museo del Novecento in Milan.

Romanesque church dating from 965 with very beautiful and noteworthy frescoes from the 15th century.

It was built by the painter in 1888 and subsequently expanded until it assumed its current appearance, with its large zenithal skylight, in 1896. It was donated by Pellizza's two daughters to the municipality of Volpedo in 1966, and its current appearance is the result of a restoration that brought it back to its original condition between 1987 and 1994, the year it opened to the public.

The parish church of Volpedo is mentioned for the first time in a document from 965 preserved in the Capitular Archives of Tortona.

The church features an exposed brick façade consisting of a projecting central body and two lower sides, divided by two flat lateral pilasters and a thick horizontal molding. The large churchyard accentuates the volume of the church and defines its profile. The bell tower rises over 40 meters on the left side of the temple, crowned by a cella enclosed by four single-lancet windows with corner pinnacles; the whole structure culminates in a Byzantine-style dome topped with a copper globe supporting a 2.80-meter-high cross.

Small but evocative, this Romanesque parish church still retains part of its original medieval architectural structure.
