The foundation of Brugnato dates back to the 7th or 8th centuries and is linked to the erection of a monastery which, like other monastic sites in Liguria and northern Italy, was dependent on the abbey of St. Columbanus in Bobbio. In 1133, Brugnato became the see of a bishopric and the cathedral was built. On 25 November 1820, the diocese was amalgamated with that of Luni and Sarzana to form the new diocese of Luni, Sarzana e Brugnato, which in turn would become the Diocese of La Spezia, Sarzana e Brugnato, in 1975.
Brugnato has been chosen as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and as such, it has been awarded the prestigious "Orange Flag" by the Italian Touring Club since 2006.Demographic evolution
