Fornaci De Mezzo
The main occupation of the population of these areas in the period between '800and mid-'900 was agriculture, at the same time various small artisan companies developed in support of the latter and construction, which mainly dealt with iron processing and wood. Two kilns were built, one used for the production of lime located in the floodplains of the Petoc stream and the other in the locality of de Mezzo for the production of bricks. The de Mezzo furnace was built at the end of the 19th century and towards 1903 it was renovated and enlarged with the construction of a "Hoffman" type furnace, characterized by 18 continuous fire combustion chambers with modern machinery and equipment capable of producing high-quality materials. quality in a short time, fueled first with coal and then with oil, it was equipped with trolleys on rails for loading and unloading operations. The furnace thus became an important center where about a hundred workers worked, contributing to the economic support of many families in the area.
