Schio

Among the cities of Veneto, Schio stands out for an industrial identity forged by its historic wool mills. Set in the Leogra valley beneath the Little Dolomites, it developed into one of Italy’s important textile centres during the 19th century. The former Lanificio Rossi complex, including the red-brick Fabbrica Alta, remains a defining part of the townscape and recalls entrepreneur Alessandro Rossi’s influence on Schio’s growth. The surrounding pre-alpine valleys rise towards the Pasubio massif, adding a mountainous setting to this factory-built town.
