Casa De Rodis
About This Museum
Tucked away in the bustling Piazza del Mercato in Domodossola, Casa De Rodis is a true hidden gem that feels like stepping directly into the past. You won't find roped-off rooms here; instead, the building itself is the main exhibit, with centuries of history etched into its stone walls and wooden beams. Wandering through its intimate chambers reveals a fascinating collection of local art and everyday objects that tell the story of this alpine community. It’s a wonderfully personal and immersive experience that connects you deeply to the Val d'Ossola region.
Collection Highlights
Look for the exquisite fresco fragments and traditional 'scarsölet' wooden clogs, which provide a vivid glimpse into domestic life. The museum also holds a significant array of sacred art and historical documents from the area.
Visitor Information
It's right on the main market square, so you can't miss it. Since it's a smaller museum, popping in is easy, but do check local listings for their opening hours as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
A beautifully preserved example of a Renaissance-era noble residence, characterized by its rustic stone facade, elegant internal courtyard, and charmingly uneven original floorboards.
