Lonigo

Province: Vicenza · Region: Veneto · Population: 15,581 · Postal code: 36045

Approaching Lonigo, the first structures to catch the eye are its monumental Renaissance sites. Just outside the main settlement stands the 16th-century Sanctuary of Madonna dei Miracoli, while the hamlet of Bagnolo is home to Villa Pisani. Designed by Andrea Palladio, this patrician residence is a World Heritage Site that sets a grand tone for incoming visitors.

The architectural pedigree continues with Vincenzo Scamozzi’s Rocca Pisana, another imposing villa within the municipal borders. Situated at the foot of the Colli Berici, this town of 15,581 residents acts as the primary hub for southern Vicenza. The surrounding terrain provides an excellent starting point for touring the wider Berica area.
