History
Archaeological evidence attests to settlements in the area as early as the 8th century BC. The first documentary reference dates to 1177, when the settlement is recorded as a feudal possession under Conrad of Urslingen, duke of Spoleto. In 1217 the authorities of Spoleto granted the site of Flezano together with the right to build a castle. Proposals advanced in 1868–1869 sought the suppression of the municipality and its merger with neighboring areas. In 1871 the municipal seat was transferred to Piedipaterno, and in 1881 Meggiano and Paterno were merged with the municipality, which thereafter operated from Piedipaterno. The municipality was suppressed in 1927 and annexed to Spoleto, but it was restored in 1930 with its seat at Piedipaterno.
