San Zenone al Po
Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about a small Italian municipality located in the province of Pavia in Lombardy, San Zenone al Po, or as it's called in Pavia dialect, San Zanón!
History
This city has a very ancient history, dating back to the 12th century, when it was called "Sancto Zenono" and was part of the Campagna Sottana pavese. In the 15th century, it became part of the squad (podesteria) of the Vicariato di Belgioioso which had Corteolona as its main town. In the 14th century, the castle of San Zenone belonged to the "da Codallo" family and was equipped with a fortified enclosure. In 1757, the fiefdom passed to the princes Barbiano di Belgioioso. In 1863, the municipality took the name of San Zenone "al Po".
