[edit] History
The history of Izano has been always connected to that of the near and more powerful Crema. The first documents mentioning Izano (as Giosano) dates from the late 10th century. Later it was probably under the suzerainty of the bishopric of Cremona. Later Izano was a possession of Crema until, in the late 15th century, it was conquered by the Republic of Venice.
[edit] Main sights
- The Sanctuary of the Pallavicina, on the road towards Crema. It dates at least from the 15th century. It has a single with an apse frescoed by artists from Cremona
