The Museo Vincenzo Vela is one of the most important 19th-century artist's houses in Europe, created by the Ticinese realist sculptor Vincenzo Vela (1820-1891). It houses a monumental plaster cast collection, 19th-century Lombard and Piedmontese paintings, hundreds of original drawings, and one of the oldest private photographic collections in Switzerland.
