| About & History: Palazzo Volpi's Pinacoteca is one of the four sites of Como's Civic Museums. It was a noble residence of the Volpi family and then of the Canarisi family until the middle of the nineteenth century, when it was bought by the state, which destined it to the court of justice, unfortunately sacrificing the garden to build the Carceri. Delivered in the seventies of the twentieth century to the Como, it was then restructured and prepared to become a museum site. The visit of Palazzo Volpi is the ideal starting point for getting acquainted with the artistic reality of the city and the area.
Highly recommended: S. Margherita's Master "SS. Faustina and Liberata's History", second decade of XIV century, fresco from S. Margherita's Convent in Como.
Highly recommended: Antonio Sant'Elia: "Multilevel house with external elevators", 1914, black pencil and orange pastel.
