 Levico followed the history of the Bishopric, and, as "communitas Levigi", proclaimed its statute in 1431 and 1479.During the German Peasants' War, in August 1525, peasants from the Valsugana marched towards Trento against the then-Bishop's Captain; the rebellion, however, was rapidly crushed.In 1575 and 1636 Levico was ravaged by plague epidemics; the latter cut the population in half.
