Vescovato (French pronunciation: [vɛskɔvato]; Corsican: U Viscuvatu) is a commune in the Haute-Corse department of France on the island of Corsica.
Its name derives from the Italian term for "bishopric".
(Italian: vescovado) According to Lucien Auguste Letteron (a Corsican Historian), the name would originate from the Bishop of Mariana, Opizzu Cortincu (1218-1260 ?)
who founded the new village.
