History
The area of Recoaro was settled in the 13th century by German colonists, a document mentioning a villa in Rovegliana (now a frazione of Recoaro) in 1262. Later it was under the Scaliger, the Visconti of Milan and then under the Republic of Venice, to which it belonged until the late 18th century.
In 1689 thermal waters were discovered, which led to the development of Recoaro as a tourist resort in the following century, although most of the population lived on agriculture until the 19th century.
After being part of the Austrian puppet Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, Recoaro became part of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1866. Friedrich Nietzsche sojourned here in 1881 and allegedly received the inspiration for his Thus Spoke Zarathustra. He wrote: Template:Quote
