Faggiano is a town and comune in the province of Taranto in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. Faggiano is member of the Unione dei Comuni di Montedoro, established in September 2002. Faggiano was historically an Arbëreshë settlement. After the inhabitants abandoned the Albanian Greek Orthodox faith they assimilated into the local population.[3]
Faggiano has a meme cryptocurrency token named after it on the Solana blockchain. While it bears no official affiliation to the town, it has brought more visibility to the town through the blockchain.[citation needed]
