THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY AND THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

From the Sacro Monte, passing through the churches of the valley, to the collection of Palazzo d'Adda of Varallo

These spaces convey the ancient appearance of the palace thanks to the original wooden floors and ceilings.

Displayed here are paintings, sculptures, and furnishings from the territory that tell the story of now-lost places where Valsesian artists such as Pier Francesco Gianoli, a leading figure of the late seventeenth century, once worked.

Following this is the d’Adda collection, from a noble and influential Milanese family present in Valsesia since the mid-sixteenth century. Portraits, landscapes, allegories, and still lifes once decorated their palace in Varallo, which still exists today.
