Arcumeggia ( Arcümedschia in Varese dialect) is a fraction of the municipality of Casalzuigno in the province of Varese . This is in Lombardy (Italy).
The place is known because in 1956 the provincial tourism authority turned it into a painting place ( Italian borgo dipinto ). After this decision, various artists such as Ernesto Treccani , Achille Funi , Gianni Dova and Remo Brindisi worked there.
The paintings, which are made using the Affresco technique, are on the outer walls of the town houses.

You can visit a small plaster exhibition in the courtyard of the birth house and two marble works in the local cemetery.
