We present a new extension of a celebrated Serrin's lower semicontinuity theorem. We consider an integral of the calculus of variation $\int_{\Omega }f\left( x,u,Du\right) dx\,$ and we prove its lower semicontinuity in $W_{loc}^{1,1}\left( \Omega \right) $ with respect to the strong $L_{loc}^{1}$ norm topology, under the usual \textit{continuity} and \textit{convexity} property of the integrand $f(x,s,\xi )$, only assuming a mild (more precisely, \textit{local}) condition on the independent variable $x\in \Bbb{R}^{n}$, say \textit{local Lipschitz continuity}, which - we show with a specific counterexample - cannot be replaced, in general, by local \textit{H\"{o}lder continuity}.
