Luni takes its name from the Roman city of Luna, founded in 177 BC at the mouth of the Magra and later the port from which marble from the Apuan Alps was shipped: its remains, with the amphitheatre, forum and houses, can be visited in the archaeological area, which has a national museum. The whole of Lunigiana is named after it.
Until 2017 the municipality was called Ortonovo, like the medieval village on the hill, which together with nearby Nicola keeps stone houses and small squares overlooking the plain. The hills produce Vermentino and the other wines of the Colli di Luni.
