==History== In medieval times Vicopisano was a flourishing fortified center of the Republic of Pisa. It was conquered by Florence in 1406. Here a castle (Rocca Nuova) designed by Filippo Brunelleschi was built in 1434. The Pieve di Santa Maria is a 12th-century parish church built in Romanesque style.
