Pinacoteca Civica di Como is the city's civic art gallery, housed in Palazzo Volpi and covering works connected with Como and the wider Lombard art world. It adds a useful indoor cultural stop to a town often visited mainly for the lakefront and cathedral.
The museum is compact enough to fit into an old-town walk, especially in poor weather or when you want context for Como's artistic heritage. It pairs well with the nearby Roman remains and silk-history stops.
