Corrado Melfi, Baron of St. John[1] (Chiaramonte Gulfi, January 16, 1850 - January 9, 1940) was an Italian historian and archaeologist. At the end of the 19th century he discovered the archeological site of Akrillai[2] and the minor site of Scornavacche, not far from Akrillai. In 1912 he gave large accounts of his discoveries in his Cenni storici su Chiaramonte Gulfi.
