Sarcedo has a mild climate and is characterised by hills covered in an abundant and various Mediterranean vegetation, vineyards and cultivated fields, villas decorated with ornamental plants. Currently, only a small part is composed of forest with species ashop-hornbeam,ash androbinia.[4]
The name Sarcedo probably derives from the Latin wordquerquetum, which means oak forest. Indeed, still in contemporary times, the green area in the hills is composed of forest and centuries-old oaks. Maccà witnessed that this name was common to other areas as Lonigo, Castagnero and Lumignano.
The name appears for the first time in a document dated 983 AD, thePrivilegium given by the Bishop of Vicenza Rodolfo to the Benedictine abbey of Saint Felix in Vicenza.[5]
