The present work aims to examine in detail the depletion of lithium in solar twins to better constrain stellar evolution models and investigate its possible connection with exoplanets. We employ spectral synthesis in the region of the asymmetric 6707.75 \AA Li I line for a sample of 77 stars plus the Sun. As in previous works based on a smaller sample of solar twins, we find a strong correlation between Li depletion and stellar age. In addition, for the first time we show that the Sun has the lowest Li abundance in comparison with solar twins at similar age (4.6 $\pm$ 0.5 Gyr). We compare the lithium content with the condensation temperature slope for a sub-sample of the best solar twins and determine that the most lithium depleted stars also have fewer refractory elements. We speculate whether the low lithium content in the Sun might be related to the particular configuration of our Solar system.
