Melito di Napoli (Melito di Napoli)
Melito di Napoli (Melite 'e Napule) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Naples in the Italian region Campania, located about 9 km north of Naples.
Melito di Napoli borders the following municipalities: Casandrino, Giugliano in Campania, Mugnano di Napoli, Naples, Sant'Antimo.
According to historical documents, the origin of Melito is to be traced back to the emperor Frederick II, who declared Melito Casale di Napoli (Hamlet of Naples). It came to be known as Casale di Napoli up until 1800. Originally it was a small rural village in the north of the city; it was founded without bastions or fortresses, which leads us to infer the village was located in an essentially peaceful territory.
Another Historian derives the name Melito from Mellito which in Latin meant deep trench. At the time of the Duchy of Naples there used to be a border that limited the boundary between Naples and Capua and Melito was one of villages included, among other rural territories.

Italy was the native place of many civilizations such as the Italic peoples and the Etruscans, while due to its central geographic location in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, the country has also historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures, who immigrated to the peninsula throughout history. The Latins, native of central Italy, formed the Roman Kingdom in the 8th century BC, which eventually became a republic with a government of the Senate and the People. The Roman Republic initially conquered and assimilated its neighbours on the Italian peninsula, eventually expanding and conquering a large part of Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. By the first century BC, the Roman Empire emerged as the dominant power in the Mediterranean Basin and became a leading cultural, political and religious centre, inaugurating the Pax Romana, a period of more than 200 years during which Italy's law, technology, economy, art, and literature developed.
