Welcome in Commezzadura!

The so-called “Commezzadura” is comprised of five little hamlets, Mestriago, the municipal centre, Almazzago, Mastellina, Piano and Deggiano, all lying along the valley’s slopes. The location name refers to the ensemble of these hamlets, as an real entity named Commezzadura does not exist in geographical terms.

The Commezzadurae Comunitas was already mentioned in several manuscripts dated 1597, whereas witnesses of the existence of separate hamlets date back as early as in 1213.
Piano, Almazzago, Mestriago and Mastellina got together in 1731 and they drew up a municipal charter, known as Carta di Regola to which Deggiano will be also joined in 1860. The hamlets’ alliance was confirmed by a Royal Decree on August 10, 1928, by which Italy’s fascist government forced the five hamlets to form one single municipality by the name of Commezzadura.
The name stems form the union of the Latin words colis and medicatura, i.e. tenant farming land. However, the local tradition has it that the name would suggest Commezzadura central position in the Valley.

Commezzadura is located in middle Val di Sole, at 850 metres a.s.l., near the western boarder of Trentino, a few miles away from Lombardy.
The hamlets known as Mestriago, Mastellina, Piano and Deggiano are lying on the northern slope of Val di Sole, at the foothill of Monte Camocina (2553m), whereas Almazzago, along with Costa Rotian and Liberdon, lies on the opposite side, on the left side of the river Noce, at the foothill of Monte Spolverino (2079 m).

The area is surrounded by thick evergreen and larch forests that help keeping the air unpolluted. The landscape boasts some of the most majestic peaks of the whole Alps range. To the East you will admire the enchanting Brenta Dolomites, getting a captivating pinkish tone at sunset. The Brenta range, with its impressive, colourful look, is in contrast with the imposing stillness of the glaciers and high peaks of the nearby Adamello, and features an array of peaks, pinnacles and towers, sharing a fanciful dolomite architecture, that have hosted unforgettable mountaineering feats.

To the North-West, the Ortles-Cevedale range stands in its towering beauty, with some of the highest peaks in Italy, up to 3535 metres a.s.l.. To the South-West soar the peaks of Adamello and Presanella, boasting several perpetual glaciers.
Being centrally located in the Valley and close to some of the Trento Province’s highest mountains, Commezzadura features a typically Alpine climate, with fresh summers and dry, snowy winters.
