Today survives really little of the romanic village, 
just some ruins conserved in the Novara Museum.
With the Barbaric invasion and the assignement in
the 1157 from Federico Barbarossa to Counts
Palatini from Lomello, begins a long peace period 
that was stopped by the battle between  Visconti 
and Beccaria.
Since 1535 it was under the dukedom of Milano, and
after under the Spanish Kingdom until the 1706, when
it has been released by Eugenio di Savoia and in the 
same year it begun the Austrian domination, but in the
1707 Austria gave Lomellina to Savoia.
Mede, as all lomellina is an agriculture centre where 
rise and other cereal were grown, and recently
handkraft activity started to develop, like goldsmith, so
that the village is one of the centre of the international 
market of it.
Today it is possible to see only the donjon, with square 
shape just in front of the parish church dedicated to 
Santi Marziano e Martino, built over the ruins of a pagan
temple of the beginning of 1000.
The main folk festival is the " Palio della Ciaramela" on 
the second Sunday of September and it 's about the 
activities  and traditions of the 1800, with a typical fashion
show around the street of the village together with the 
challenge " Ciaramela ",translate in the local  dialect   
"Lippa" one of the most ancient play of lomellina.
