[3] 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 16th century ex-convent Santa Maria delle Grazie is reached by entering Valdagno from Regina Margerita street and heading towards the historic centre.

A short walk from the ex convent is Villa Valle, where the once called Orsini-Marzotto, now Centro Culturale Comunale "Gaetano Marzotto", is in charge of curating a municipal modern art gallery and public library.

The hall is enriched by four doors with triangular pediments, where two images are sculpted representing the seasons and the four vital elements: earth, fire, water and air.

On the furthest back wall of the sacristy is positioned the big Ancona of Saint Clemente, a stone polyptych carrying the date "1445".
