Land of white gold: from Carrara to the Apuan Alps

Carrara and marble have a connection that is centuries old, rooted in the origins of a city that has always been involved in the quarrying and working of this snow-white stone. Several tours, departing from Carrara and heading towards the spectacular white marble quarries, offer unique, breathtaking panoramas which have fascinated illustrious figures and artists throughout the world and through the ages. Amongst these: Canova, Moore and the great Michelangelo, who came here to select blocks for his famous masterpieces.
