Description
The birth of the first settlement of Morciano di Leuca dates from the ninth century by refugees from the nearby city of Vereto destroyed by the Saracens.
With the advent of the Normans, the estate was donated in 1190 by Tancredi d'Altavilla at Sinibaldo Sambiasi whose descendants owned it until the thirteenth century. In Angevin period the house passed to the Riccardus Murchano which took over in 1316, Guiscard Sangiorgio who sold it in 1335 to Gualtieri VI di Brienne..
In 1486 Giacomo Antoglietta sold it to Sambiasi to which succeeded the Capece, D'Enghien and Castromediano in 1642.
Despite the abolition of feudalism had been decreed in 1806, the house was bought in 1848 by Giuseppe Valentini.
Aggregate at first to the municipality of Patù, gained self-government on 1 August 1838. In 1894 earns the fraction of Barbarano del Capo administered up to that point from the town of Salve.
The name may derive most likely from the Latin word murex with reference to the type of soil and rocky nature hillside on which the town is located. Other hypotheses suggest a derivation from the Latin name of person or Murcius to the fact that in the past was a place for the storage of the goods (merce).
