Carrara

The Apuan Alps define the setting of Carrara — their pale marble-bearing slopes rise immediately above a Tuscan city whose identity and economy have long been tied to stone. Quarries in these mountains produce Carrara marble, a material valued from Roman antiquity through the Renaissance and famously used by sculptors including Michelangelo. In the historic centre, the Cathedral of Sant’Andrea brings local stone into the fabric of the city, while the nearby Ligurian Sea places Carrara between mountain industry and the coast.
