Historians have developed several thesis on the origins of the town's name: for reasons of synthesis it probably derives from the Cimbro dialect and refers to the large presence of woods in the area, while for some others it derives from "lus-aan" (cut out) and for others supports that it comes from Latin "lucus Dianae" (sacred woods of Diana).
Municipality in the province of Vicenza, situated on the slopes of Mount Cornione, near the stream Isora, the town's territory, which extends from 250 to 1400 meters above sea level, is very heterogeneous, both in terms of morphological and climate. It is a Summer climatic and Winter sports resort, from where it is possible to enjoy extraordinary views and offers different kinds of environment: forests, alpine meadows, foothills and plains. The local economy is devoted to agriculture, but a strong income derives from the extraction of stone and tourism.
The area was inhabited since ancient times, probably by Paleovenitian populations, as evidenced by findings unearthed near Mount Crognon and Mount Covolo. Later a population of Germanic origins settled here, probably attracted by the presence of fertile lands to cultivate. Lusiana became part of the Regency of the Seven Towns, which founded in 1310, survived until 1807, thanks to its small army, its own laws and autonomy. The domain of the Serenissima Republic of Venice brought prosperity and development, who respected the autonomy gained by the town that was for a long while linked to Conco, from which it was separated more than once over the centuries.
