The world of marble is not just about extraction and craftsmanship—it is the story of a land and its people, whose identity has long been intertwined with this ancient stone.
Carrara marble, known to the Romans as Luna marble or marmor lunense, is a prized white or blue-grey marble used for centuries in sculpture and architectural decoration. It has been quarried since Roman times in the rugged mountains above Carrara, in the province of Massa and Carrara.
The quarries are vast, open-air scars on the mountainside—monumental white wounds carved into steep, wild slopes, where tiny human figures move enormous blocks of stone. For over 2,000 years, nature and human ingenuity have clashed and cooperated here, producing the raw material for masterpieces found in palaces, piazzas, and private homes around the world.
This is not just a tour—it’s an exclusive, private experience for those seeking something truly special.
