Vigonovo (from Latin vicus novus, "new village") is a town and comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Venice, Veneto, Italy.

It is believed that around 1000 BC after the destruction of Troy by the Greeks, the members of a tribe of Paphlagonia (province of Asia Minor), called Heneti (hence the name Veneti), landed on the Adriatic coasts and settled there after having expelled the locals Etruscans.

[citation needed] Until medieval times, the town was called Sarmazza after a settlement of Sarmatians (an ancient people coming from the East).

Vigonovo is located in the most extreme point of the area of the Venetian villas that have made the Riviera del Brenta known.

With its frazioni (boroughs) of Galta, Tombelle and Celeseo, Vigonovo is extending for about 13 square km west of the Brenta river on flat land.
