Valdagno is a town and comune in the province of Vicenza, north-eastern Italy. The town was the birthplace of the textile manufacturing company Marzotto, and home to the Italian hotel chain "Jolly Hotels".
== Etymology == The word "Valdagno" is the union of the sentence "valle dell'Agno", meaning "valley of the Agno". According to historian Giovanni Mantese, the name originated from the Latin Vallis Alnei, meaning "valley of ontano". == Geography == The town extends along the river Agno, from which Valdagno takes its name, and the homonymous valley surrounded by hills; the Piccole Dolomiti and the Alti Lessini. The presence of the river Agno influenced both the town origins and its development; in particular, it provided water to the population, increasing industrial activities especially in the textile area. The valley has a west–east orientation, allowing wind currents from the Adriatic Sea to cause climate consequences.
