Volandia (full name: Volandia – Parco e museo del volo, Italian for Park and Museum of Flight) is an Italian aviation museum, located near the Malpensa Airport in the comune of Somma Lombardo, in the Province of Varese. Housed in the former industrial premises of the Caproni company at Vizzola Ticino, the museum was established in 2010.

Its collection is composed of approximately 45 aircraft, including the Caproni Ca.1 (an important milestones of Italian aviation) and other significant Caproni aircraft from the Ca.18 to the C-22J, a Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79 (an Italian World War II torpedo bomber), examples of the Aermacchi MB-326, 339 and 346 trainers, Agusta helicopters and other flying machines, as well as cars, motorbikes, scale models and historically significant artifacts.[3]
