Forte dei Marmi is one of the most sought-after and exclusive resorts in Italy.
From the early twentieth-century, the town has been the retreat of choice for celebrities and footballers, society figures and intellectuals, artists, painters, poets, from Milan, Florence and abroad.
Well-known visitors to Forte dei Marmi have included the Agnelli and Moratti families, Gabriele D’Annunzio and Guglielmo Marconi, sculptor Henry Moore and film-maker Luchino Visconti.
Forte dei Marmi often sets the fashion, breaks it, remembers the glorious 60s and plays host to the Versiliana festival. Night spots like the Capannina di Franceschi have played host to many famous Italian singers while the boutique shopping is second to none.
From the Fortress you can head out over the water, along the graceful pier, feel the intense perfume of the sea, and look back to the spectacular peaks of the Apuan Alps.
Even today, after so much history, Forte dei Marmi remains a point of reference for those wanting a relaxing holiday while enjoying quality nightlife, kept busy throughout the year from top-class restaurants, nightclubs and fashionable cafes.
