Folle, Vitorino Enderle, Armindo Enderle, João Dalla Corte, João Soranso, Jacó
Pastório, Angelo Biasuz, Antonio Pauletti and Santo Marcolan re-settled the
place in 1931, which they renamed to Marcolino as a tribute to the first
settlers. The settlement was renamed to Baitaca at an unknown date and to
Liberato Salzano in 1958.
The municipality of Liberato Salzano was
established by State Law 4,736 promulgated on 1 June 1964, separating from
Constantina.
The town's namesake, Liberato Salzano Vieira da Cunha
(1920-1957) founded and presided the Centro Ação Católica. As a member of the
PSD, he served as Mayor of Cachoeira do Sul (1947-1950), and was elected State
Representative in 1950 an appointed Secretary of Education and Culture. From
1944 to his death in a plane crash in Bagé, Liberato Salzano was the director of
