Villa Bertelli is a villa built in 1869, it is located in the Vittoria Apuana hamlet of the municipality of Forte dei Marmi, in via Mazzini 200.
It was the management headquarters of the Italian Society of Explosive Products (SIPE). Initially there was a pier on the sea connected to the villa, used to ship the mines produced by the company abroad, but which was demolished in the thirties.
At the end of the First World War the company faced a crisis due to the collapse in demand for mines and had to close.
The headquarters in Forte dei Marmi was purchased in 1926 by Ilio Bertelli who converted it into a hotel with the name of Villa Bertelli.
The business closed in 1971, and remained in a state of abandonment for many years.
The Villa was brought back to life in 2002 when the municipality purchased it and used it as an exhibition space. Nowadays events and exhibitions are held inside throughout the year, while in the summer a music festival takes place at the back of the structure.
