'''Lugo''' ({{lang-langx|rgn|Lùgh}}) is a town and ''[[comune]]'' in the northern [[Italy|Italian]] region of [[Emilia-Romagna]], in the [[province of Ravenna]].
 
==History==
A settlement in where is now the city is now is mentioned for the first time in 782 AD, but the names '''Lucus''' appears only in 1071. In 1161 it was a fief of the Counts of [[Cunio]], but in 1202 it returned to the [[Papal States]]. It was later a possession of the [[Da Polenta family|da Polenta]], [[Pepoli]], [[HouseVisconti of ViscontiMilan|Visconti]]{{dn|date=June 2020}} and [[House of Este|Este]]; the latter maintained it until 1597, when the city was again annexed to the Papal States.
 
In 1424 the Castle of Zagonara (now destroyed) was the seat of the homonymous [[Battle of Zagonara|battle]], in which a Milanese army defeated the Florentines.
Line 48:
When in 1797 the French revolutionary forces invaded northern Italy, [[Barnaba Chiaramonti]] (later [[pope]] as Pius VII), then still [[Diocese of Imola|Bishop of Imola]], addressed his flock to refrain from useless resistance to the overwhelming and threatening forces of the enemy. The town of Lugo refused to submit to the invaders and was delivered up to a pillage which had an end only when the prelate, who had counselled subjection, supplicantly cast himself on his knees before [[Pierre Augereau|General Augereau]].
 
In 1859, through [[plebiscite]], Lugo joined the newly born [[unification of Italy|Kingdom of Italy]]. During [[World War II]], the Senio river formed the frontline between the German and Allied occupation areas from December 1944 until 10 April 1945. The city was liberated by the 1st Jaipur Infantry. A memorial to the Jaipur Infantry was built in the city.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.ilnuovodiario.com/2021/04/10/lugo-celebra-la-liberazione-commemorazione-senza-pubblico-davanti-al-monumento-al-1st-jaipur-infantry|title = Lugo celebra la liberazione, commemorazione (Senza pubblico) davanti al monumento al 1st Jaipur Infantry|date = 10 April 2021|access-date = 16 February 2022|archive-date = 16 February 2022|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220216095818/https://www.ilnuovodiario.com/2021/04/10/lugo-celebra-la-liberazione-commemorazione-senza-pubblico-davanti-al-monumento-al-1st-jaipur-infantry/|url-status = live}}</ref> The city suffered heavy destruction but recovered quickly after the end of the conflict.
