Cerano d'Intelvi is a town of 557 inhabitants, called Ceranesi, situated 630 meters above sea level extending over an area of 555 hectares. Early in the twelfth century it took part in the ten-years war between Como and Milan and then passed under the rule of different feudal families, including the Camozzi, the Rusconi and the Marliani. The territory has also been ruled by Gian Giacomo De’ Medici during the five-hundreds and now the country is part of the Lario Intelvese community.
