Lugo di Vicenza

Lugo di Vicenza is located in the Venetian foothills, in the green Astico Valley, within a landscape that alternates flat areas, rolling hills, and mountainous terrain reaching up to 1,300 meters, at the southern edge of the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni. The origin of its name, from the Latin lucus—meaning “sacred grove”—reflects the deep connection with the natural landscape that still characterizes the village today, among forests, trails, and wide-ranging views.
Renowned for its UNESCO-listed Palladian villas, such as Villa Godi Malinverni and Villa Piovene Porto Godi, Lugo preserves a layered dialogue between art, architecture, and nature.
Marked over the centuries by occupations and dominations, the town was also a site of partisan Resistance during the Second World War, later embarking in the postwar period on a path of growth based on a vibrant artisanal and manufacturing economy.
