Mezzocorona
Mezzocorona (; ''Mezacoróna'' in local dialect), is a ''Communes of Trentino, comune'' (municipality) in Trentino in the northern Italy, Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about north of the city of Trento and within of the South Tyrol, Südtirol border. Toponymy The name is thought to derive from the Italian language, Italian words ''mezzo'', meaning "middle" or "in-between", and ''corona'', which means "crown" (and is likely a reference to the shape of nearby ''Castel San Gottardo''). Another possible origin is to be found in the dialect of the area: ''mez'' (with the variant ''miz'') which means "wet, soggy". 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. In 1194 the Counts of Tyrol took control of the area. After this event (the population of the town became predominantly German speaking till the 16th century) the topony ...

Via Claudia Augusta
The Via Claudia Augusta is an ancient Roman road, which linked the valley of the Po River with Rhaetia (encompassing parts of modern Eastern Switzerland, Northern Italy, Western Austria, Southern Germany and all of Liechtenstein) across the Alps.

Since 2007, the ''Giontech Archeological Site'', in Mezzocorona/Kronmetz (Italy) serves as the Via Claudia Augusta International Research Center with the support of the ''Foundation Piana Rotaliana'' and the Government of the City of Mezzocorona/Kronmetz. History In 15 BC, the Roman general Nero Claudius Drusus, the stepson of Augustus, got orders from his stepfather to improve the passage through the Alps for military purposes and to increase Roman control ...
