[edit] Forte family
The hotellier Charles Forte was born in the village of Mortale, just outside Casalattico. Formerly a farming community, the village has now been largely turned over to holiday homes for the Forte family and their relatives.[citation needed] In the 1970s the village started to call itself Monforte (or Monforte Casalaticco) in his honour "after some mysterious local plebiscite".[2] The name Mortale is still found on maps.
