Entering Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo's home-studio is an indescribable emotion: a real atelier built by the painter in 1888, donated by Pellizza's two daughters to the municipality of Volpedo in 1966.
Once inside, one is struck by the size of the room and the intensity of the coloring which, thanks to an important restoration carried out by removing the superimposed layers of colors with a scalpel, brought to light a dark but warm shade of a Siena earth tending to brown, as was customary in most nineteenth-century ateliers.
The Painter's Studio is part of the Pellizza Museums, which also include the Educational Museum in Piazza Quarto Stato, with multimedia installations, itineraries on Pellizzian sites, a pedestrian path through the streets of the village and along four hiking trails on the surrounding hills, and the Romanesque parish church of San Pietro.
