Mezzocorona (Kronmetz or Deutschmetz in German) is a town in the province of Trento, located in the Piana Rotaliana, a plain enclosed between the river Adige and Noce, famous for the cultivation of vines stretches that produces fine wines, and that have earned the nickname of "the most beautiful vineyard in Europe."
The name is composed of the words "Crown" (the actual castle of San Gottardo) and "Mezzo" (the ancient name of Piana Rotaliana).
The area was inhabited since the dawn of prehistory, as evidenced by the rich and important findings brought to light (burials in perfect condition, ceramic containers, axes, polished stones), and, in 2004, near the Castle San Gottardo, paleontologists have found dinosaur footprints dating back to the late Triassic.
The Adige river and the Via Claudia Augusta made it a road junction of primary importance, as evidenced by the interesting traces of Roman sites in the Giontec and Drei Cane.
With the purchase of the Castle "Crown of Mezo" by Meinhard II, jurisdiction over the village passed to the Lords of Mezo and, subsequently, to the Counts Firmian, who held it until 1824.
