Marble from the Apuan Alps and the Carrara area is also famous worldwide thanks to works such as Michelangelo's David. Today, some of these quarries can be visited because they are no longer in activity. I recommend, for example, the one in Fantiscritti, which with a guided tour takes you inside the mountain into breathtaking spaces where, surrounded by white marble, you have the feeling of being in a sacred, majestic place, the work of man but also a spectacle of nature. Afterwards, I recommend you stop by Colonnata and taste the traditional Lardo.

If you go to Carrara you must take a tour to the famous quarries of white marble, right off the city center. The Carrara quarries have been prized since the days of the Roman Empire, All the famous sculptors came to Carrara to get this precious marble over the centuries. The activity of the quarries was particulary fervent during the Renaissance when Michelangelo came here personally to see in the marble his sculptures: for the artist, the work of art would start in the cut of the raw material in the quarry. Today, the visit of the quarries in the basins of Torano, Fantiscritti and Colonnata are unforgettable and unique: along the route of the former Marble Railway, visitors can do a spectacular journey through the striking tunnels dug into the rock , to explore the cave from which since the preroman time was extracted the white Carrara marble. It is also possible to learn the ingenious and dangerous ways the marble was carried to the valley along the carriage ways in time.
