Nepezzano is a suburb (frazione) of the provincial capital Teramo, Italy and is located about 4 miles away from the town center. The first written documentation regarding Nepezzano dates back to the 12th century in a listing of feudal properties (Rassegna dei Feudatar) found in the county of Teramo (then known as "Aprutina") These documents show that one Maccabeo Melatino and his relatives had made claim to Nepezzano, along with the neighboring localities Monticello and Campora. According to the historian Niccola Palma, the feudal castle of the Melatino family towered above a hill then known as Mount Marino The castle was positioned in such a manner so as to provide an unobstructed view of the small village below and of the Melatino holdings Through the beginning of the 19th century, traces of the castle ruins were still to be found alongside the district road coursing through this location Professor Palma writes that a stone tablet found nearby carried the Latin inscription "Iter.

Privat Fundi Nepotiani." At one time this was probably placed at one of the entry points to a location carrying the name NepotianoThus, the derivation of the name of the town currently known as Nepazzano The word "Nepotiano" noted on this boundary stone perhaps refers to a Roman colony linked to the larger city of "Pretut" (the ancient name for the town today known as Teramo). With regard to its ecclesiastical heritage, in 1188 Pope Clement III issued a Papal Bull placing Nepezzano, along with the San Martino church and associated land holdings, under the tutelage of the town of San Nicolò a TordinoThis remained in effect until San Nicolò a Tordino itself could no longer claim to be unclaimed by any sovereign entity. In 1351 Nepezzano was united with the Comune di Teramo and remains to this day a suburb of this city. Towards the end of the 16th century, several colonies in the Abruzzo region were founded by groups of Venetian warriors and exiles known as "Schiavoni" and more specifically arriving from the Dalmatian coastal region of the Adriatic SeaOne such settlement was found in Cologna, today a suburb of the town of Roseto degli Abruzzi.
