Vicopisano is a municipality with 8642 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2017) in the province of Pisa in the region Tuscany. The municipality ranges over approximately 27 km². It is located approximately 50 km in the west of Tuscany’s capital Florence and 15 km in the east of Pisa and in the mountain chain Monti Pisani.
Vicopisano came into being at the confluence of the rivers Serchio and Arno (The river Serchio was later redirected and, since that time, did not go anymore into the Arno river but directly into the Ligurian Sea). Due to the strategically favorable location and due to the short distance to Pisa, the village and its economy came into being. A document from 950 a. Chr. mentioned first the village. After the defeat of Pisa that had a significant influence on Vicopisano against Florence, the village came under the authority of Florence where it stayed with few exceptions (1494-1498 and 1502-1503 and later in the duchy of Tuscany) until the unification of Italy. In 1434 Filippo Brunelleschi built the Rocca of Vicopisano, also called the Rocca of Brunelleschi or Rocca Nuova.
In Vicopisano, there is a small supermarket, a bakery and a butcher shop as well as bars and restaurants. You will find a big supermarket (also open on Sundays) in a distance of 5 km.
