Traversing the Via Postumia, I crossed this square, only a copy of the original but still exciting.

Piazza Castello (or Piazza del Palazzo, but also Piazza Malaspina in the popular version accepted by Pellizza himself, today Piazza Quarto Stato), is the place where the painter, between 1891 and 1901, places the advance of the workers. The square was born towards the middle of the 19th century with the renovation of the stately building, commissioned by the new owners Malaspina, who created a new access on the western side. Giuseppe Pellizza painted The Fourth Estate between 1898 and 1901; the work was the fruit of a long creative journey inspired by the protest of a group of workers, for which he had farmers and artisans chosen from among his fellow villagers from Volpedo pose.
