Main sights
The seaside village of Roccamare was born as a gated community in the early 1960s on a project by Count Federigo Ginori Conti who conceived, financed and implemented the idea. The originary settlement consisted of two hundred villas designed by architects Ugo Miglietta and Antonio Canali.[2] Other villas were designed by Roberto Monsani, Luigi and Giancarlo Bicocchi.[3] Notable buildings in Roccamare include Villa Bartolini (1958) by Ernesto Nathan Rogers[4][5] and Villa Settepassi (1966–1986) by Pier Niccolò Berardi.[6][7]
