Volpeglino is a small village in the Curone valley.
‘Vulpidino’, now Volpeglino, was owned by the Abbey of Bobbio. In the 12th century it was a fortified site, and part of the feud of the Guidobono family.
It became a free commune in 1245. Afterwards Volpeglino came under the influence of the Visconti. In the 16th century the castle was turned into a palace by some members of the Guidobono-Cavalchini family.
Volpeglino became a municipality in 1928.
