Mezzolombardo (local dialect: Mezombart) 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. As of 31 December 2006, it had a population of 6,498 and an area of 13.8 square kilometres (5.3 sq mi).[3]
Mezzolombardo borders the following municipalities: Ton, Mezzocorona, Spormaggiore, San Michele all'Adige, Fai della Paganella, Nave San Rocco, and Zambana.
The inhabitants are called Mezzolombardesi or rarely Forcoloti. Behind the latter demonym there is a bizarre story: its inhabitants were nicknamed Forcoloti for having attacked the inhabitants of nearby Mezzocorona with pitchforks while they attempted to burn a crucifix (thus earning the nickname Brusacristi) located on the border between the two municipalities.[4]
