St. Peter’s Cathedral<br />

Dedicated to St. Peter and<br />

located on the Gorzone hill, it<br />

was the centre of the whole of<br />

the religious life in <strong>Schio</strong> from as<br />

early as the 13th century.<br />

Its current formation with three<br />

naves, classical pronaos and<br />

lateral steps is the result of<br />

architectural work carried out at<br />

different times between 1700<br />

and 1800.<br />

Fogazzaro Palace<br />

The palace which features a<br />

Corinthian portico, an ashlar<br />

basement and two wings<br />

(barchesse) with turrets, was<br />

built in 1810 to a design by<br />

Carlo Barrera.<br />

Renovated in 2004, today it is<br />

used to hold cultural activities<br />

such as exhibitions, conferences<br />

and concerts.<br />

of historical buildings that were<br />

formerly the “Ospedale Baratto”,<br />

under Austrian rule, the library<br />

offers numerous services including<br />

Civic Theatre<br />

It was inaugurated on 9th June<br />

1909 with a performance of<br />

“Mefistofele” by Arrigo Boito.<br />

Seriously damaged during the<br />

war, it gradually fell into disuse.<br />

Today, some of the rooms such as<br />

the foyer and the Calendoli room<br />

are used for exhibitions and conferences.<br />

A work of architectural<br />

restoration and conservation is<br />

currently being developed.<br />

Fabbrica Alta<br />

Built to the order of Alessandro<br />

Rossi in 1862, it represents one<br />

of the symbols of the first Italian<br />

industrialisation. Inside there<br />

are huge halls divided into three<br />

bays with 125 cast iron columns.<br />

Although it is not currently in<br />

use, the building is at the centre<br />

of a Recovery Plan involving the<br />

whole surrounding area known<br />

as Lanerossi.<br />

Jacquard Garden<br />

An exceptional monument of<br />

industrial archaeology, as well<br />

as landscape architecture, the<br />

romantic garden of the Rossi<br />

wool mill, known as Jacquard,<br />

was created by Antonio Caregaro<br />

Negrin between 1859 and 1878.<br />

The Jacquard Garden is now<br />

private property.<br />

Conte Wool Mill<br />

It is the oldest wool mill of the<br />

town and was founded in 1757<br />

by Giovanni Battista Conte and<br />

then extended over time with<br />

the building of new plants and<br />

structures in reinforced concrete.<br />

Following remarkable restoration<br />

works, in 2007, on the occasion<br />

of the 250th anniversary of its<br />

foundation, it was reopened to<br />

the public for exhibitions and as<br />

a museum.<br />

Castle<br />

The so-called “Castle” of <strong>Schio</strong> is<br />

really a former church (St. Mary<br />

of the Snow) that stands on the<br />

ruins of the old castle which<br />

was destroyed by the Venetians<br />

in 1512 following the troubled<br />

events of the League of Cambrai.<br />

In a panoramic position offering<br />

a marvellous view of <strong>Schio</strong>, it is<br />

today the home of the town’s<br />

Photographic Circle.<br />

<strong>Schio</strong> Town hall<br />

Built in 1799 to a design by Carlo<br />

Barrera and previously used as<br />

the Garbin Palace and Wool Mill,<br />

it has been home to the town<br />

council since 1914. The simplicity<br />

of the façade overlooking the<br />

square contrasts with the more<br />

articulate main prospect along<br />

Via Pasini.<br />

Rossi Nursery School<br />

Named after Alessandro Rossi<br />

who entrusted the building work<br />

to Antonio Caregaro Negrin in<br />

1872, the nursery school looked<br />

after the children of Lanerossi<br />

wool mill workers until about<br />

1990. Today, the building is<br />

being restored and will become<br />

a “music centre” with spaces<br />

dedicated to musical groups and<br />

town associations.<br />

The Church of St. Francis<br />

A fourteenth century church with<br />

an adjacent monastery of the<br />

Friars Minor of the Observance<br />

(which was suppressed in 1810).<br />

Extended during the 1500s,<br />

it houses numerous works of<br />

art inside and in the cloister,<br />
