Since the end of the 18th century, many European nobles, diplomats, businessmen, artists and celebrities chose this destination to spend their holidays or a period of time relaxing in splendid villas, hidden and protected by the greenery of the pinewood and surrounded by sandy fine golden beaches.  
Forte dei Marmi is not only famous for the beauty of its beaches, gardens and historical centre, but also for its elegance and worldly pleasure: its shops and high-fashion boutiques attract tourists like the nearby art cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence, and its local places have always been attended by famous celebrities all over the world, marking the Italian Dolce Vita since the 1960’s onwards. 
However, what makes the life in Forte even more unique is its relaxing atmosphere, rhythm given by large spaces, pleasant bike ridings along tree-lined avenues, silences and moments spent with friends to enjoy an aperitif together, after a peaceful day of sunbathing.
The symbol of the city, set right in its centre, is “Forte dei Marmi Fortress”, the Grand Duke’s fortress built in the 18th century.
