One of the most popular bathing resorts of the Tyrrhenian sea, Forte di Marmi owes its name to the ancient port used for the transportation of marble. For more than a century Forte dei Marmi has been an exclusive holiday resort, once frequented by the famous, for example: D'Annunzio, Duse and Montale. Because of its peaceful atmosphere and mild climate, it is the preferred destination of those who shun mass tourism.
Here one can take part in all kinds of sports; water sports in the sea or lake of Massaciuccoli, and mountain sports in the nearby Apuane Alps. To visit: the remains of the Forte dei Marmi, the Iron Factory, the Area of the Roman Empire, the Museum of Satire and Caricature and the Modern Art Gallery.
Numerous events are held in the Fort including the well known Festival of Satire and Caricature, in which cartoon artists from all over the world participate and the Jazz'n Forte Festival. In August, celebrations including a magnificent firework display, are held in honor of the town's Patron Saint St Ermete.
