history
Pian di Scò (main town)
Up to the end of the 18th century, the history of the place is linked to the Romanesque Pieve Santa Maria a Scò, built around the year 1000 . There are two theories about the origin of the name: the first derives the name from the nearby Arno tributary Resco , the second relates the name to Aesculus , the oak of Jupiter . Under the rule of the Republic of Florence, the parish joined the Lega di Castelfranco . After the Lega was dissolved in 1774 by Leopold II , Pian di Scò was incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Castelfranco. After the occupation of Tuscany by Napoleonic troops, the municipality became independent in 1809. In 1873 the Palazzo Comunale ( town hall ) was built.
