Location
A hotel stay in Forte dei Marmi near Viareggio is the perfect occasion for discovering one of Tuscany's most famous seaside resorts and its wonderful surroundings. Forte dei Marmi's name comes from the 18th century fort (20-minute walk from hotel) which is now home to the Museo della Satira and was originally built to defend the 300-metre-long pier used for shipping marble. It was commissioned by Michelangelo for shipping enormous blocks of the extremely white Carrara marble to Rome, where they would become the most beautiful sculptures of all time.
