==History== thumb|left|A stroll around Lorenzana, as displayed on the side of the Osteria dei Vecchi Sapori. 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.
