History
The name derives from the Latin Lucus martius, meaning "Wood of Mars", which has suggested the existence of a temple, with annexed grove, devoted to the god.
In the Middle Ages it was under the Malaspina and later the Fieschi families. The latter sold the fief to the Republic of Genoa in 1198. After a brief French and Austrian domination in the 18th-19th centuries, it became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1814. Lumarzo was annexed to the newly unified Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
During World War II in the area took place several fighting between German occupation troops and partisans.
Natalina "Dolly" Garaventa, mother of Frank Sinatra, was born in the fraction of Rossi of Lumarzo in 1894.
