Forte dei Marmi, the crown jewel of Tuscany’s Mediterranean coast, boasts unmatched sun-kissed shores and seaside splendor. Its past tells a story of transformation from a quaint fishing village to a glamorous jet-set playground. Candy-colored umbrellas from beach clubs dot the pristine sands, with the Apuan Alps providing a majestic backdrop. Renowned sculptors like Michelangelo and Jeff Koons have drawn inspiration from nearby Carrara and Pietrasanta. Edoardo Nesi’s evocative text and stunning photography capture the spirit of this unspoiled haven, making it an ideal destination for a timeless Italian vacation.

Sofia Y. ★★★★★ Nov 4, 2026

The chapters on its transformation from a little fishing village into a coastal destination are what kept me turning pages. I didn't expect the seaside photography to be this gorgeous either.

I picked this up before a trip and the section on how the village grew from a fishing hamlet into a resort town gave me way more context than any travel blog did. The seaside chapters are paced well too, so it never drags.

The photos of the sun-kissed shoreline alone are worth it, and I didn't expect the history of the old fishing village to pull me in like it did. Read it on the train in two sittings.
