At the south-western end of the Berici Hills lies the town of Lonigo that already from a distance shows an unmistakable profile lying on the ridge of the hill.
The town boasts numerous monuments that can be visited and which have nothing to envy to others in more famous and well-known centers.

A bit of history:
It was inhabited since prehistoric times by the Paleovenetian people.
The most important periods for the town were the Middle Ages and the period of Serenissima rule.
After the fall of Venetian rule, Napoleon ceded it to Austria with the Treaty of Campoformio.
It belonged to the Lombardo-Veneto kingdom until 1866, when it was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy.

A note:
being surrounded by lush, prestigious vineyards, it has been awarded the title of 'international city of wine'.
