Giuseppe Pellizza was born in Volpedo on 28 July 1868 in the Piedmont village of Volpedo where he spent all his life; he was one of the greatest exponents of Divisionism in Italy. His work, exhibited in some of the major Italian museums, expresses the desire to represent reality without any prejudice and it is strongly connected to his area of origin and to the rural culture.
His most famous masterpiece, ‘Il Quarto Stato’ (The Fourth Estate) consecrated his fame and became the universal symbol of the fight for the workers’ rights. It is a mammoth canvas exhibited at the ‘Museo del Novecento’ in Milan and painted between 1898 and 1901 using as the background, one of Volpedo’s squares and as models his fellow villagers.
