Forte dei Marmi, a famous holiday resort in Versilia, derives its name from the fortress that rises in the center of the town, the 'Fortino', that is the grand-ducal fortress built at the end of the 18th century to defend the landing place and the marbles from the Alps Apuane, not far away, were transported to the pier and then took the sea route.
