The origin of the area can be traced back to 900–950 A.D., when the village of Vicozoaro emerged from the marshes and the thick woods. The village's name comes from the Latin words Vicus - village, and Zearius - a place plentiful of zea (spelt) - an ancient variety of wheat used to make bread. Sometime later, the castle was built, thanks in part to Lords Della Palude who were vassals of Marquess Boniface of Canossa, father of the Countess Matilda. The most ancient record in which the village is found, is a deed of gift drawn up by the notary Guidone on 6 April 1032 in the castle of Vicozoaro.
