History and luxury villas in the Roma Imperiale district of Forte dei Marmi
Walking through Forte dei Marmi, a renowned and exclusive seaside resort in Tuscany, one must not avoid visiting the characteristic district of Imperial Rome.
The first villas in Forte dei Marmi belong to artists and industry magnates, at the end of the 19th century Forte dei Marmi attracts many foreign tourists, especially Germans. Many artists, including Boeklin, Hildebrand, Sargant and Isolde Kurtz, fall in love with the pristine and still wild beauty of the locality.
The district of Roma Imperiale, located in the southern area of Forte dei Marmi, on the border with Marina di Pietrasanta and the Versiliana pine forest, is currently better identified in a quadrilateral at the end of which we find on one side the sea and the beaches of Versilia and for three remaining sides from via Nizza to the south, from via XX Settembre to the north and from via della Barbiera on the mountain side parallel to the sea.
The area takes its name from the Cooperative Anonima Roma Imperiale, which bought the land in the area in the 1920s, to then resell it in lots to wealthy vacationers.
The project of this urban area, dating back to the last century, is the work of the Florentine architect Giovanni Michelucci, one of the greatest Italian architects of the twentieth century.
The district of Imperial Rome is characterized by the numerous large stately villas, dating back to different eras and built with a great variety of architectural styles, for whose constructions the architects of the time used precious materials, making extensive use of the precious marble of the Alps. Apuan.
The initial nucleus of the villas was built for a colony of German tourists who, following the studies of the Florentine doctor Dr. Vanzetti, a convinced pioneer of heliotherapy treatments, frequented Forte dei Marmi for the healthiness of the sea and beaches.
Today, wandering around by bicycle through the silent and shady streets of Imperial Rome, we savor the majesty of the buildings, the beauty of the gardens, the peaceful atmosphere and among the most interesting villas we point out in via Corsica, a masterpiece of Mediterranean rationalism: Villa Antonietta, with its continuous windows, perfect for a seaside villa.
From Via Corsica we continue along Via Raffaelli and reach Villa Mann-Borghese which clearly recalls the shape of an ocean liner, built in 1957 by Leonardo Ricci, a pupil of the architect Giovanni Michelucci, for Elisabeth Mann, daughter of the famous German writer Thomas Mann.
In via Leonardo da Vinci we find the majestic Villa Apuana, built on Tuscan inspiration by the architect Sattler for the German industrial magnates Siemens.
A short distance away, in via Nizza, we find Villa Costanza, home for Admiral Morin in 1899 and sold to the Agnelli family in the 1920s, who built an underpass that leads directly to the sea. A careful restoration has transformed this building into the well-known Hotel Augustus.
Edgar Kurz's house in Viale Morin is a large house immersed in the pine forest; after an expansion in 1907, it becomes the Villa Elena pension.
