A
seaside resort among the most popular Tyrrhenian ones, Forte dei Marmi
is located around a jetty set up during the sixteenth century to ship
the apuan marbles. Since 1788 this has been sheltered through an outpost
which had been built by Leopoldo I and is still visible in the middle of
Garibaldi Square. Just about every european noble but also diplomats, businness-men and managers, artists and V.I.P.s had their bautiful
villas, protected by the greenery of the pinewoods, built in this zone.
Moreover they chose its sandy beaches to spend their holidays and to
relax themselves.

During
the last century Forte dei Marmi has become a famous tourist resort and
its value is recognized all over the world: although a part of the
original environment has been turned into enchanting gardens, kitchen
gardens and luxuriant meadows sorrounding beautiful villas, the
man-nature relationship has been kept intact.

Nature even dominates man,
whose often careless and abusing presence it reshapes. From Forte dei
Marmi a tourist can rediscover many historical and cultural
architectural evidences, enchanting villages situated on the
numerous valleys or on the hills and enjoy the spell of the
Apuan Alps
