Lonigo is a small town in the Province of Vicenza, situated between the ancient city of Verona and the enchanting town of Vicenza. The imposing Villa San Fermo is perched on a gentle hill, surrounded by greenery and overlooks the little town. San Fermo is a rather grand abbey, constructed in the 15th and 16th centuries and first occupied by he secular canons of San Giorgio in Alga. The abbey returned to private hands for a short time before the Jesuits took over. Some years later the abbey passed to the current owners, the Sons of Mary Immaculate, a religious congregation founded by Italian Roman Catholic priest, the venerable Lodovico Pavoni (1784 – 1849).
