Schio is a town and comune in the province of Vicenza situated north of Vicenza and east of the Lake Garda. It is surrounded by the Little Dolomites and Mount Pasubio. Its name comes from Latin: escletum was a wood of oaks and it was first used in a document of some Benedictines from Vicenza. The first settlements were around two old hills, where now there are respectively the ruins of an old castle and a majestic neoclassical cathedral.
