Alessano (Greek: Ἀλεξιανόν) is a town and comune in the province of Lecce, part of Apulia region of south-east Italy.Although an episcopal see of Alessano (Alexanum in Latin) was probably established under Norman rule in the 10th or 11th century, the regular succession of its bishops began only in 1283 with a Giovanni from Naples. Until the 16th century, papal bulls regarding the bishopric called it either Alexanum or Leuca. It was a suffragan of Otranto.
