In 1906, at the same time as his high school studies, he attended the studio of the landscape painter P. Joris. The training then continued at the free school of the nude at the Institute of Fine Arts (1908-10) and at the University of Rome, where he graduated in jurisprudence in 1912 with the thesis Legislation of Fine Arts and Antiquities published the following year in Rome. Starting from 1906, the first charcoal portraits are also documented ( CM , 1953, p.11) and from 1911 the works with a social subject such as Port unloaders ( ibid. , Table 1). In 1914 Mezzana got in touch with G. Giovannoni and F. Hermanin, through which he developed a keen interest in architecture. In the same year he participated with naked Man in the painting competition of the Regia Accademia di S. Luca (Rome, Accademia di S. Luca, inv. 957) and obtained the qualification to teach drawing in technical schools and artistic institutes. Moreover, he exhibited the oil painting Rinascita at the exhibition of the Society of amateurs and lovers of fine arts in Rome, which saw him annually present until 1928 with the Consecration of Chinese bishops (1927, reprinted in CM ... , 1983, pl. 9). In the same period, in tune with the widespread taste in the capital of those years, Mezzana matured a predilection for the crepuscular atmospheres ( Dante al Monastero del Corvo , 1914, Rome, Mezzana collection), represented with a connatural sentimental vein and a spelling dry and sharp. In 1915 he was invited to the San Francisco International Exposition, where he presented the Antoninian Baths and began to teach drawing in the Michelangelo Buonarroti circle and in the ornamental arts school of the Municipality of Rome. During the war period Mezzana suspended the activity of scholar and artist to devote himself to the organization of the military hospital De Merode of Rome (1916-17) and was then an artillery officer (1917-18). In 1919 he married Albertina Giorelli, with whom he had six children, and began working as a production designer in the production company Tespi film in Rome (1919-22). In 1922 he created the first framework of social engagement, Glauco (1922; Rome, Mezzana collection), with a clear symbolist imprint, in the wake of the masonry works of A. De Carolis and A. Calcagnodoro. The evocative and didactic approach is characteristic of the works of Mezzana, especially in this period ( Elegi abiectus esse in Domo Dei , 1926, CM ... , 1953, plate 7), with the exception of landscapes, where he expressed his best artistic qualities, painting with scrupulous respect for the truth ( Dogliani , 1928, ibid ., plate 11). In the same years, he carried on the work of a publicist and from the pages of the Catholic magazine Gioventù nuova (1914-24) he came to the heart of the issues of historical-artistic philology. He also continued his exhibition activity by participating in the second and third Rome Biennial in 1923 and 1925. In the latter he exhibited a collection of decorations and the sketch for the altarpiece, Christ between s. Catherine of Siena and s. Margherita Alaquoque (1922), realized for the chapel of the Sacred Heart in the Basilica of S. Maria sopra Minerva. At the same climate and in the same period belong the tempera dedicated to the life of s. Giovanni Bosco (1929, Turin, Institute of the Salesians) and the cartoons for the stained glass and mosaics of the chapel of the relics in S. Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome ( CM ... , 1953, plate 13), pervaded by a pictorialism and expressive sentimentality pathetic tones. From the beginning of the Thirties, the main focus of interest was the commitment to artistic issues as a scholar and conservative. Designed, assisted by A. Muñoz, the crypt under the church of S. Caterina Magnanapoli (1933) and obtained the setting up of the hall of industry and craftsmanship at the Augustan Show of Rome (Rome, 1937). Especially after 1930 Mezzana devoted himself to the study of a series of great figures: Leonardo da Vinci, GL Bernini, Giotto di Bondone...
