About

Among the most beautiful villages in Italy, a stone's throw from Primiero San Martino di Castrozza, Mezzano claims its proud identity and celebrates the rural with themed itineraries dedicated to water, gardens, architecture, engravings, frescoes and wood piles, which here they make art. Mezzano is a true reservoir of alpine life with a strong and proud cultural identity. The past, tied in a double knot to the mountain rurality, here is not limited to surviving, but is alive and is present in the ancient stone and wood peasant houses; in the onion-shaped bell tower of the Church of San Giorgio, with clear Tyrolean references; in the squares enlivened by the water of the fountains; in the facades embellished with inscriptions and frescoes; in the historic "lisièra", where the laundry was done according to rigid rituals and precise hierarchies; in the gardens, as many as 400 in a town of about 1600 inhabitants; in the "tabiadi", ancient barns, now restructured and become museum
