History

The origin of Uzzano's hilltop settlement dates to the Lombard period, though the first mention of it dates about 1000 AD, when its castello was in the possession of a noble family of Lucca, of Lombard lineage, who were "signori" of Uzzano and of Montichiari and Vivinaia. [Today Montichiari and Vivinaia are communes in the province of Lucca.] In 1202 the comune gained local autonymity, remaining nevertheless a dependency of Lucca. In the fourteenth century Uzzano, like other comuni of the Valdinievole, passed under the dominion of Florence, with which it was joined until the unification of Italy, when it was returned to the jurisdiction of Lucca, and the separated by the creation of the province of Pistoia (1928). In 1963, the southern section of Uzzano was separated to form the comune of Chiesina Uzzanese.
