Before property of the Ponti family, Isolino Virginia, with all the archaeological collection contained in the museum, belonged in the firsts decades of this century to the municipality of Varese and constituted a further center of visit for the museum system of the city all over the territory. It is open only from June to September during weekends. It can be reached by boat from Biandronno with a public service, but there are also private berths.
Its structure is harmonious, fragile and delicate; Isolino Virginia hosts a collection with a didactical structure showing pre-history of Varese's lake, its populations and its life. One of the major historical and fascinating curiosity is based on the usage of pile works made by population who live on water. These pile works were found also in France and central Europe, were built using archaeological knowledge
ante-litteram to exploit water and its resources without damages.
