The surname Moscardi was first found in Pisa a town in Tuscany, capital of the province of Pisa. Historically, Pisa in it's inter city war in 1003 with Lucca was forced into building its own navy. Then, under threat from the Saracens from Sicily, it found itself the aggressor against Calabria, Sicily and even in Africa. In 1062 their ships returned from Palermo laden with spoil. But with the Norman Conquest of Sicily they became less profitable. They continued considerable rivalry with Florence and Genoa. Some of the family hailed from Calabria, the Barons Musco, who had settled in Caulonia since the first half of the 16th century. From this branch, the Italian general Ettore Musco (1889-1990), was descended.
