'Forte Dei Marmi'

In this spectacular volume by Assouline, author, writer and filmmaker Edoardo Nesi transports readers to the sun-kissed shores of Forte dei Marmi, the jewel of Tuscany’s Mediterranean coast. Stunning photography, both new and archival, captures the fashionable seaside town’s azure waters, pristine sands and retro glamor, framed by the drama of the Apuan Alps. The edition reveals the lesser-known towns tucked into the mountains, Carrara and Pietrasanta, which for centuries have welcomed and inspired sculptors from Michelangelo to Jeff Koons. A story of a place through time, from quaint fishing village to fabulous playground for the elite, 'Forte Dei Marmi', captures the essence of the timeless Italian escape.
