The town's name is believed to derive, for the first part, from the Latin word "luteus" (swamp), although there are other historians that claim its origins to the Roman Family of "Lucii" or even from "Lucus" (sacred forest), while the second part was added only in the second half of the XIX century and refers to the position occupied by the village, located not far from Este (from the Latin "Ateste"). Municipality in the province of Padua, located near Mount Lozzo, is surrounded by the lush of the Euganei Hills.
Several finds attest the presence of settlements in the area since Pre-historic times. Colonized by the Romans its farmlands were divided into "centurie" and several roads and aqueducts were built. After the Fall of Rome and the subsequent invasion of the Barbarians, the area submitted a period a decay and destruction. During the period of the Lombard domination, Lozzo was subjected to Vicenza, and later to Padua. The town proved a period of stability and growth, under the domain of the Serenissima Republic of Venice, who granted it with a certain autonomy. The town became a preferred resort of the rich merchants and the Venetian nobility, who had numerous and elegant villas built here, still visible today.
