Short description of Versilia
Versilia is the coast of northern Tuscany, a long strip of fine sandy beaches between the Ligurian Sea and the marble peaks of the Apuan Alps. Viareggio, its largest town, lines the shore with a promenade of Liberty-style cafés and villas and stages one of Europe's most famous carnivals with giant satirical papier-mâché floats. Northwards follow the family resort of Lido di Camaiore, Marina di Pietrasanta and chic Forte dei Marmi with its boutiques and exclusive beach clubs. Inland, Pietrasanta is a town of marble workshops and contemporary sculpture, while Torre del Lago honours Puccini beside Lake Massaciuccoli. Versilia is Tuscany's classic beach holiday coast.
