🇮🇹 Michelangelo’s Marble Source: Carrara Quarry

🇮🇹 Travel deep into the heart of Tuscany’s Apuan Alps and step inside the legendary Carrara marble quarries, where some of the world’s most iconic artworks and monuments have their origins. This is where Michelangelo found the perfect block for his David, and where the marble for the Pietà, the Tower of Pisa, and even London’s Marble Arch was sourced.

⛰️ Join us as we explore the rich history of these mountains, learn how marble has been extracted since ancient Roman times, and discover why Carrara’s “white gold” is so prized. See the massive saws and cutting-edge techniques used today, along with the age-old methods that once relied on sheer human effort. We’ll also venture into an underground cathedral of stone and taste the local delicacy, Lardo di Colonnata, cured inside marble basins for unmatched flavor.

👉 Whether you’re a lover of art, architecture, history, or Italian culture, this journey reveals how nature, craftsmanship, and centuries of tradition shape the legacy of Carrara marble.
