The handsome Palazzo del Pero with four towers, at the upper end, was built in 1586 by Pellegrino Tibaldi for the Milanese Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio. Adjoining the venerable church of San Vincenzo rises the 12th century Romanesque Baptistery of Santa Maria del Tiglio, with campanile, containing two Christian inscriptions of the 5th century. The old vacation home of Alessandro Volta is located near Palazzo Del Pero at Villa Stampa, where Volta also spent his honeymoon. Villa Stampa was granted to Volta by the Stampa family of Gravedona, a noble family at the time. On the wall of the villa is an engraved plaque with a dedication to the Stampa family and Alessandro Volta.
