Mezzenile

Mezzenile has served as a mountain community in Piedmont's Lanzo Valleys since the Middle Ages. The municipality occupies a slope above the Stura di Lanzo in Val Grande di Lanzo, one of the three valleys that meet near Lanzo Torinese before the river continues towards the Po plain. Its scattered hamlets and steep local roads reflect an Alpine settlement pattern rather than a compact town centre. Mezzenile belongs to the Franco-Provençal-speaking cultural area of the Lanzo Valleys, where patois remains part of local heritage alongside Italian and Piedmontese. The surrounding valley connects village life with routes into the Graian Alps. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Lanzo Valleys and Piedmont.
