PINACOTECA CIVICA DI PALAZZO VOLPI

Volpi Palace is the privileged starting point for discovering the artistic heritage of Como and its territory. Towards the end of the 1980s, the building was identified as the natural home for the expansion of the Civic Museums, allowing the transfer of important nuclei of paintings and sculptures - from the Middle Ages to the 20th century - previously held at Palazzo Giovio and Palazzo Olginati.

Inaugurated in 1989 with three high-profile exhibitions dedicated to the 14th century, the 17th century in the Como area and Como Abstractionism, the Art Gallery completed its layout in 1992 with the definitive transfer of the picture gallery. Today, the exhibition itinerary is divided into four broad thematic areas: the Medieval Section, that Renaissance, the Quadreria and the Twentieth century.
