Storia comune di Melpignano provincia di Lecce
When Romans conquered Messapia territory in 267 BC they used to share the conquered lands among the most skilled soldiers. The territory corresponding to the current Melpignano was given to the roman soldier Melpinius. After the fall of the Roman Empire it was under Greek-Byzantine influence and during the feudalism it was a fief for lots of families. After the feudalism Melpignano was joined to Castrignano dè Greci, but in 1837 the two towns became independent.
