Not only do the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-
Emilian Apennine define a natural border between distinct
regions, they are an extraordinary ring of marble peaks
delineating two worlds, worlds which differ for their climate
and culture, the north from the Mediterranean.
From the Apuan Alps which soar up to 2.000 metres, we can
enjoy a breathtaking view. With a sweeping look we take
in the white cascades of the marble quarries which provide
a stunning backdrop to the blue sea of the Tuscan coast.
No other place on earth can match the incomparable beauty
of Carrara marble, so prestigious that the "divine"
Michelangelo chose
it to immortalise his masterpieces.
