The villa was built in its present form by the Counts de Mezzan of Feltre in the last quarter of the 17th century, probably incorporating a previous older manor house, still recognizable in the layout of the east wing. There are no testimonies of the author of the project while the commission from the family is certain, documented in the city since the thirteenth century. Of great scenographic impact, framed as it is in the backdrop of the Feltrine peaks, it rises majestically in the center of the vast agricultural estate, on the northern edge of the open cultivated plain facing south and is flanked by rustic outbuildings. The villa still retains the original management-control function of the farm and is permanently inhabited by the family's descendants throughout the year (originally it was used for "holidays" only in good weather). In the first post-war period it was restored and embellished by the majestic gate of Rizzarda.

Villa Zugni Tauro de Mezzan, built around the middle of the 17th century, closes the town of Villabruna to the north with the series of buildings that make up the property located in Grum.
The main façade is spread over three floors and is decorated, as in the case of other similar villas, in the lower part with an ashlar, while on the upper floors there are two series of triple lancet windows dominated by the inevitable tympanum and by two large fireplaces corresponding to the fireplaces interior.
The imposing rustic body was erected between the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Today the villa and the annexed buildings are home to a farmhouse managed by the owners where you can relax in contact with nature while also savoring some typical local products.
