History of the municipality
Valli del Pasubio is the result of the merger of two different communities, with very different histories and administrations. On one side, on the banks of the Leogra river, was Valle dei Signori, so named because it belonged to the lords of Vivaro, feudal lords of the bishop of Vicenza. On the other side, on the left bank, was Valle dei Conti, belonging to the Maltraversi counts, counts of Vicenza.
The origin of the municipality dates back to the High Middle Ages, when the area was inhabited by Germanic ethnic groups called Cimbri. These settlers had reached the area thanks to its strategic location as a natural connection between the plateau of Sette Comuni and the Lessinia, as well as between Trentino and Vicenza. Over time, the Cimbri assimilated into the Latin population of the area but maintained their languages and traditions thanks to the presence of priests who were native German speakers.
Already in 1297, the Valle area had its own parish, the chapel of Santa Maria, which depended on Torrebelvicino. In the 14th century, the area came under the domain of the Scaligeri family and under the administration of the civil Vicariate of Schio, which it maintained until the end of the 18th century.
