Palazzo Vittore Zanetti
Housing block on the western lakefront of the island, realized as a whole unit in the first half of the 19th century by Vittore Zanetti (1770-1856), a native of the island, who made his fortune in Manchester by trading artworks and antiquities.
The building was already mentioned in the Lake Maggiore tourist guidebooks of the second half of the 19th century, because it preserved a beautiful Sacra Famiglia, painted in the 17th century by the great French classicist painter Nicolas Poussin and now in an American museum.
The façade still partly displays the original decoration with bossage and niches with portraits.
The housing block was divided in the 1950s (one of the resulting units is the current Casa Museo Andrea Ruffoni).
