Mazzano is twinned with:
Saint-Germain-des-Fossés, France
The Municipality of Mazzano is twinned with the French town of Saint-Germain-des-Fossés, located in the Allier (Auvergne), ten kilometers from Vichy. The oath of brotherhood that sanctioned the formalization of the twinning was held in October 2002 in Saint-Germain-des-Fossés and on April 25, 2003 in Mazzano.[3] Since 2010 the municipal administration, led by the mayor Maurizio Franzoni, has no longer considered continuing relations with the French citizen without confirming the municipal commission for twinning.

Starting from 1986 in Mazzano there is a regularity march in the mountains of the FIE (Italian Hiking Federation) called Renato Malossi trophy in honor of the historical leader of the Alpine group.
