History

The inhabitants are known as Lorenzanesi. Economic activity is agricultural primarily based on cereals, wine and olives. From the earliest records the village was managed under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Pisa. In 1406 when the Republic of Pisa collapsed, the village fell under the Republic of Florence. In 1783 control passed to Pietro Leopoldo of Lorena and this persisted until the Unification of Italy in 1861.[1]

The church of Bartholomew the Apostle and Saint Christopher[2] dates back to 1850, when it was rebuilt in neoclassical forms after being demolished by the earthquake of 14 August 1846, which caused destruction throughout the area.[3]

Villa Giuli

One of the main buildings in the village is Villa Giuli, also known as the Villa or Palazzo di Lorenzana.[4] The villa is mentioned in 1521, but its main development took place in the 18th century by Ferdinando Giuli and then in second half of the 19th century with Domenico Giuli. Excluding the cellars it has an area of Script error: No such module "convert".. It is elongated, following the ridge on which it rests, and is supported by imposing brick buttresses that exceed a height of Script error: No such module "convert".. In addition to the park with secular trees, the villa is surrounded by two gardens: to the east the one called "delle Rose", to the west the hanging garden called "della Palma".[5]

Loranzana Castle

After the defeat of Pisa, Lorenzana castle was destroyed by the Florentines in the 15th century. In the early 1700s, Abbot Marchetti built a mill there.[5]

Lorenzana Palace

The Lorenzani palace was owned by a noble Pisan family who, almost certainly, gave the town its name. After the Lorenzani, the property passed into the hands of Count Serughi and was subsequently divided into two parts: the left portion of the gate was bought by Count Passerini (now owned by the Sforni family); the portion on the right of the gate was purchased by the Counts Schiavini-Cassi and, subsequently, also took the name "Schiavini-Cassi-Scotti" (now this portion is divided among several owners).[5]
