Settlement of Romanesque origin, in the past Linzanico was part of the Duchy of Milan. It became common during the 18th century, was part of the province of Como for several years, and then was annexed to the municipality of Mandello by royal decree of Napoleon (1809).
When the Austrians took the power again, the municipality of Linzanico was restored. It was composed of the little settlements of Novegolo, Linzanico, Crebbio, Lombrino and Zana, what we now call “high hamlets”. The definitive union with Abbadia Lariana took place in 1928 with Royal Decree during the fascist regime.
Linzanico still has some buildings dating back to 1700. From the hamlet you can start the itinerary to reach the Cenghen waterfall.
