Forte dei Marmi - It is the most recent municipality, having been founded in 1914. Its territory borders Marina di Pietrasanta in the south and stretches up to Cinquale in the northern part. The modern area is built around its small historic centre near the fort, dating from 1782. Today, its pier stretching out into the sea for about 100 m, is frequented by strollers and fishermen but in the past was used for transporting marble from the Apuan Mountains. On clear days a breathtaking scenery of the sea and mountains can be enjoyed from here and the Apuans seem almost to soar above the sea. Today it is a very popular destination for tourists from all over the world. In the 1930s the Agnelli family chose the town for their summer residence making it famous and starting a trend for many other wealthy industrial families coming from northern Italy who continue to spend their holidays here.

Roma Imperiale, to the south of the town centre, is a maze of small streets lined by magnificent villas completely surrounded by luxuriant vegetation where the night life is enjoyed with moderation but can be as exciting as in the most famous resorts in Sardinia.

Along its waterfront there are renowned haunts for dining and for evening entertainment. The incomparable Wednesday weekly market held in the town centre is famous all over Italy. ... from “Touring Around Versilia” (Versilia, Toscana, Italia)
