The exploitation of the quarries, indeed, started with the Roman Empire and since then the production has never stopped.<\/p>\n<p>Territorial development is strictly linked to the marble industry and specifically to the transformation process of this material into manufactures for the buildings, street furniture, architecture and artistic fields. Marble also facilitates the engineering industry as regards the production of innovative machineries to excavate and produce the granite.<\/p>\n<p>Carrara is world-famous for its white marble, pure and without veining. You just need to look up and see the uncovered mountains of the Apuan Alps: it\u2019s there the origin of statues, monuments and buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Michelangelo himself used to go up to the Altissimo mountain (1589 meters) to take the marble to sculpt and create its works. As a result, the David kept in Florence and the Piet\u00e0 in San Pietro in Rome, were born. Even Donatello, Bernini and Canova have always been fascinated by this precious typical material of Carrara.<\/p>\n<p>The operating quarries today are in the three large extraction basins in Colonnata, Ravaccione e Fantiscritti, behind Carrara and facing the slopes of Maggiore mountain.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wm_right_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wm_body_gallery\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/ecmedia.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/EcMedia\/76371.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"track-gallery\" data-title=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecmedia.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/EcMedia\/Resize\/400x200\/76371_400x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/ecmedia.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/EcMedia\/76370.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"track-gallery\" data-title=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecmedia.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/EcMedia\/Resize\/400x200\/76370_400x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wm_info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<script>\n\t\tdocument.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n\t\t\tvar swiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', {\n\t\t\t\tslidesPerView: 1,\n\t\t\t\tspaceBetween: 10,\n\t\t\t\tfreeMode: true,\n\t\t\t\tloop: true,\n\t\t\t\tpagination: {\n\t\t\t\t\tel: '.swiper-pagination',\n\t\t\t\t\tclickable: true,\n\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\tnavigation: {\n\t\t\t\t\tnextEl: '.swiper-button-next',\n\t\t\t\t\tprevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',\n\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t});\n\t\t});\n\t<\/script>\n\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-15033","poi","type-poi","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"geohub_poi_id":"43121"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
