Nestled along the Tuscan coast, Forte dei Marmi is more than a tranquil seaside retreat—it's a gateway to the mystique of marble. Just behind the town, Pietrasanta, known as the "City of Artists," draws sculptors from around the world to uncover the secrets of the Apuan Alps' marble. Many of these artists find themselves so captivated by the stone's beauty and potential that they choose to remain, spending their lives revealing the hidden sculptures within, echoing Michelangelo's sentiment of liberating figures from the marble.
Discover the Corchia caves and marble quarries, or take a drive along the picturesque coast to explore nearby Lucca, Pisa, or Florence. Return in time to enjoy a beachside aperitif and a leisurely dinner in Pietrasanta’s vibrant art galleries. Experience the Versiliana park, attend engaging local events, and don’t miss the Piazza dei Cavallini market—celebrated as one of Italy’s finest for apparel and linens.
