Mezzocorona (Italian pronunciation: [ˌmɛddzokoˈroːna]; Mezacoróna in local dialect, Kronmétz or Deutschmétz in german language), is a comune (municipality) in Trentino in the northern Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 15 kilometres (9 mi) north of the city of Trento and within 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) of the Südtirol border.

In fact, Mezzocorona was a marshy area until the 19th century, when swamplands were eventually reclaimed and Noce's outlet into Adige River moved further downstream, near Zambana.

The village lies at the foot of a steep rocky mountain wall (Monte di Mezzocorona) that shields it from the cold northern winds.

The Rotaliana plain has been continually inhabited since prehistorical times with documented evidence, such as the remains of an ancient woman dating back to the Mesolithic period.

But the first written evidence goes back to 1199[5] and refers to the church, the venue of the ancient Parish of Santa Maria, which also comprised some nearby villages.

Everyday life was regulated by a set of rules called Carta di Regola or Vicinia Statute by which everyone had to abide.
