We are in Volpedo, a small town in the province of Alessandria, on the edge of the hills, on the banks of the Curone river, on the border between Piedmont and Lombardy. To the north, the plain opens out and to the south, the hills surround the valley. Volpedo is famous as the birthplace of the famous painter Giuseppe Pelizza, master of the Divisionist school and author of the famous painting 'The Fourth Estate', and is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Our proposed property is a house on the edge of the village, adjacent to Pelizza's studio/museum, where he lived and worked. The façade has been completely restored in exposed stone and brick in order to preserve the historicity of the place; the property is on two floors, with a total surface area of approximately 200 square metres. From the ground floor, a staircase divides the two wings of the house; on the left, we find a double-fronted dining room and a bathroom; on the right, we find a living room with a fireplace, double-fronted both towards the courtyard and the garden, and a habitable kitchen. On the first floor there is the sleeping area with two large bedrooms, a large bathroom and a wardrobe. The property is completed by a cellar, a courtyard and a large rustic building (130 sqm), currently used as a shed, which could be converted into another living area. Due to the context in which the house is situated, the property would be ideal as a first home as well as a holiday home. It is in a village that is very vibrant in terms of wine, food and culture and has a large number of tourists thanks to its year-round initiatives. The location is very convenient for reaching both the A7 Milan / Genoa motorway and the most important services, as well as the many walking and cycling routes.
