Description
Forte Dei Marmi explores the sun-kissed shores and seaside splendour is without equal. Its past is a tale of metamorphosis. Introducing Forte dei Marmi, the crown jewel of Tuscany’s Mediterranean coast. Those who are lucky enough to know it know it well and have been vacationing there for decades, ensuring that the spirit remains unspoiled. Candy-colored umbrellas, each representative of its respective beach club, dot the pristine sands, and in the background, the Apuan Alps stand regally in the distance. Tucked into these mountains, Carrara and Pietrasanta have welcomed and inspired renowned sculptors, from Michelangelo to Jeff Koons.
With an evocative text by writer and filmmaker Edoardo Nesi, and page after page of gorgeous photography, Forte dei Marmi transports the reader from a quaint fishing village to a fabulous playground for the jet set, revealing a glamorous lifestyle that makes it the perfect destination for an unforgettable Italian vacation.
About Assouline:
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple’s experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives. Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Over the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations worldwide. Assouline has also inaugurated a curated library service, working closely with clients to visualise, design, and develop bespoke, one-of-a-kind libraries.
With a distinguished team of creative talents, which includes the founders’ son Alexandre, the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury.
