Background
The history of Mezzano does not differ much from that of the rest of Primiero. The archaeological finds show a human presence since the Mesolithic, even if only seasonal and at high altitudes. However, it is only after the year 1000 that the first news about the town and the valley appear, which is already well organized from an administrative point of view: Mezzano was one of the four columelli in which the community of Primiero was divided.
Passed through various dominations, from the second half of the fourteenth century the area entered permanently in the domains of the counts of Tyrol being assigned from 1401 to their feudal lords, the Welsperg. In this period Mezzano was interested in an important immigration of ethnic German miners from Schwaz, while maintaining the prerogatives of an agricultural center.In 1525 its inhabitants took part in the peasant war.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century the population suffered the convulsive years of the Napoleonic and Bavarian occupation. Returning to the Austrian orbit with the Restoration, in this period many mid-people were forced to leave their land to emigrate overseas.After the great war, Mezzano became part of the Kingdom of Italy.

What see
- Parish Church of San Giorgio, Monsignor Rodolfo Orler square. The building has a white gabled façade and a 36 m high cipollone bell tower. The interior has three naves and shows a carved wooden high altar, a large ciborium and the statue of St. George on horseback. The church was built in 1670, renovated in 1728 and restored in 1907, but it must be said that a church dedicated to San Giorgio already existed around 1360. Some canvases are hung on the walls.
- Ancient houses. The fountain square is flanked by the Orler house. There are numerous characteristic houses of the Primiero traditional building: the House of the Usseri, probably built by a rich man from theHungary, who owned all the countryside of the place; the Canton Grison with the Tabernacle of St. George; there Cosnèr house with a stone fountain: la Lotti House and the Case brusade. Near the town hall there is the Cunico House, an elegant baroque palace.
- Cataste & Canzei - permanent exhibition. Since 2010 the country has joined the prestigious club of the most beautiful villages in Italy. This has greatly increased the care of the historical-cultural aspect of the country. In this regard, a permanent exhibition has been set up, entitled "Cataste & Canzei". The exhibition takes up the ancient custom, still practiced today, of stacking wood under the house, so that it dries up and can be burned during the winter. Hence the creation of works of art, always using stacked wood, made by local artists. Each year the exhibition is renewed with the addition of a new stack, to the initial fourteen, located in the characteristic points of the town
