In the center of Fobello is the Puncetto Museum, where the works made by the puncettaie are exhibited. Puncetto is a millenary trine, one of a kind, made exclusively in Valsesia where tradition has it that it arrived with the Saracen invasion of the 10th century. www.comune.fobello.vc.it

The Tirozzo Carestia Museum houses a part of the herbarium collected by Abbot Carestia, one of the greatest Italian botanists. The collection consists of about 1,000 sheets dated from 1854 to the early 1900s, which have come down to us in perfect condition. www.comune.fobello.vc.it

The Valsesia Lancia Story, in collaboration with the Lancia family, to honor the figure of Vincenzo Lancia, wanted to create a permanent exhibition in Fobello named after the founder of the prestigious Turin car manufacturer. The exhibition is located on the second floor of Palazzo G. Lancia which Vincenzo himself had built as a school building.
