Forte dei Marmi
Forte dei Marmi is seaside town in Tuscany coast with many cafes and bars
Forte dei Marmi was founded in 1914. Its history is relatively recent and its origins are related to the artistic work of Michelangelo Buonarroti. By order of the Pope Leone XIII, Michelangelo gave up the marble of Carrara and began to use that of Seravezza. To facilitate transportation, Michelangelo had built a road from Seravezza ending right on the dock. From there, in fact, the marble was shipped and transported by boat.
Famous for its marbles, Forte dei Marmi became an important center of maritime trade. In the 700 the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo had built a fort to protect the city. The fort became the gathering place around which grew Forte dei Marmi, and had the dual function as a military and customs.
