Lavagna is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Genoa, in the Italian region of Liguria.
== History and culture == The village, unlike nearby Chiavari which has pre-Roman evidence, seems to have developed in Roman times with the Latin name of Lavania. The name has remained unchanged, over the centuries, until it became the current toponym of Lavagna in the following centuries.
