History[edit | edit source]
It is not known when the comune of Pisano was established. However, in 1908, about thirty ancient Roman amphorae were discovered, suggesting a small Roman agricultural settlement existed in the eastern part of Pisano, near Corciago. In 1986, a bronze coin from the early imperial era (43 BC - 37 AD) was found.
