## History

The name derives from the [Latin](/source/Latin_language) *Lucus martius*, meaning "Wood of [Mars](/source/Mars_(mythology))", which has suggested the existence of a temple, with annexed grove, devoted to the god.

In the Middle Ages it was under the [Malaspina](/source/Malaspina_family) and later the [Fieschi](/source/Fieschi) families. The latter sold the fief to the [Republic of Genoa](/source/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](/source/Kingdom_of_Sardinia) in 1814. Lumarzo was annexed to the newly unified [Kingdom of Italy](/source/Risorgimento) in 1861.

During World War II in the area took place several fighting between [German occupation troops](/source/Wehrmacht) and [partisans](/source/Partisan_(military)).

Natalina "Dolly" Garaventa, mother of [Frank Sinatra](/source/Frank_Sinatra), was born in the *[frazione](/source/Frazione)* (village) of Rossi of Lumarzo in 1894.

## Main sights

- Sanctuary of *Madonna del Bosco* ("Madonna of the Wood"), in the *[frazione](/source/Frazione)* of Pannesi, dating from the 16th century.

- Church of *San Martino al Vento* (15th century).

## Transport

Lumarzo can be reached through the Strada Provinciale (Provincial Road) 225 [Orero](/source/Orero%2C_Liguria)-[Bargagli](/source/Bargagli).
