Hello everyone! Today I want to talk to you about Mezzomonte, a hamlet in the municipality of Polcenigo, in the wonderful region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Mezzomonte is a small village with a very ancient and interesting history.

## History

The first time Mezzomonte is officially mentioned is in 963, when Emperor Otto I of Saxony donated this area to the Diocese of Belluno-Feltre. But according to recent studies, human presence in this area dates back to an even earlier, pre-Roman era.

One of the main attractions of Mezzomonte is the Church of San Antonio Abate, first mentioned in 1458. The bell tower, on the other hand, was built in 1958. This church is a piece of local history and represents a symbol of faith and devotion for the inhabitants of the area.

## Infrastructure and transportation

Mezzomonte is a small mountain village and for this reason, it is not served by public transportation. However, some runs stop in the hamlet of Coltura, which is located near the provincial road that leads to Mezzomonte.
