Versilia renowned name is not only deserved
for its beautiful sandy beaches, in the shade of the Apuan
Alps. It has been the homeland and meeting point of great
artists since the beginnings of 1900.


In those days, world-known artists, such as Lorenzo Viani
and Galileo Chini, have made Versilia famous. It was the
Liberty period, which has still left its strong mark in the
lounges and palaces in Viareggio.

Also in those days, Pietrasanta became the destination for
sculptors who found there not only well-equipped workshops
where they could accomplish their works in marble, but also
the most skilled art foundry.

In the nearby Camaiore, rich in memories and monuments, every
year the "Tappeti di segatura" (Sawdust Rugs) festival
takes place.

From there, the road to Lucca, which crosses tiny villages and, along which numerous antique villas capture visitors' attention, starts.

In Torre del Lago, homeland of Giacomo Puccini, in the suggestive theatre by the Massaciuccoli Lake, the artist's operas are staged & performed.

From Marina di Massa to Viareggio, passing through Forte dei Marmi, Marina di Pietrasanta and Lido di Camaiore, all the coast offers, to its affectionate regular goers, the best ingredients for a holiday, which ideally combines: social, artistic and literary life.
