The Civico Museo Parisi Valle, a reinforced concrete “Museum-Bridge” suspended over the Giona River, at its mouth in the lake. It symbolizes the union between Maccagno Superiore and Maccagno Inferiore.
With glass windows overlooking the river and hanging gardens, it perfectly integrates with the natural environment, connecting the two banks of the river and serving as a modern landmark.
Born thanks to the generous donation of artist Giuseppe Vittorio Parisi and his wife Wanda Valle, who donated a large collection of artworks to the local community.
