The town of Fossò is located in a fertile plain in the territory of the Riviera del Brenta, between Padua and Venice.

The name may be derived from the Latin " Fossadum ", a ditch, with reference probably to a minor line of river Brenta.

In 1797 Napoleon Bonaparte arrived in Italy and with the Treaty of Campo Formio, the glorious Republic of Venice ended forever.

After World War II, Fossò had a good economic development, with the consequent urban expansion and substantial growth of the population, so that in 1957 it was necessary to build a new larger church.

The economical development transformed the town, once mostly agricultural, into a purely industrial and commercial place.
