In recent years, the Mercato del Forte has become a travelling market which has created a magical atmosphere in many of the most beautiful squares across Italy, selling quality items of fine fabrics and the products of merchants of old.
The Mercato del Forte takes its name from the city of Forte dei Marmi, and is without question Italy’s most glamorous shopping destination, characterized by its vast range of quality ‘Made in Italy’ brands.
The squares fill with curious people from various nations who among them share an unbridled passion for shopping and for the elegance of
Forte dei Marmi. This creates a continuous movement of Russians mingling with Milanese holidaymakers throughout the market square, in a playful and jovial atmosphere, typical of Tuscany.
There is a strong global demand for Made in Italy and for true craftsmanship, and the Mercato del Forte offers just the solution to this, in terms of quality and convenience.
It represents a return to cultural traditions which are more than simply commercial, an authentic showcase that can enhance the best of Italian craftsmanship and trade.
