In Assouline's impressive coffee-table book "Forte dei Marmi," Edoardo Nesi, an Italian writer and translator of works by Stephen King and Quentin Tarantino, invites readers to explore his personal version of the Tuscan coastal town of Forte dei Marmi.
Forte dei Marmi, a stunning jewel on the Tuscan coast, offers sun-drenched beaches and breathtaking sea panoramas. Once a simple fishing village, it has now been transformed into an upscale haven for the international jet set. The beaches are adorned with colorful beach club umbrellas, sprawled across pristine sands with the impressive Apuan Alps in the background.
Famous artists such as Michelangelo and Jeff Koons found inspiration in the nearby marble quarries of Carrara and the artistic community of Pietrasanta. Edoardo Nesi's evocative writing and stunning photographs capture the essence of this pristine vacation spot, making it a perfect destination for an unforgettable Italian vacation.
