massa carrara historic houses

Massa Carrara is a province of Tuscany very well-known thanks to its marble production. In the Apuan Alps, the spectacular marble quarries offer an evocative sight. This precious white stone has been quarried since Roman times. Since then, it has been used for all sorts of different purposes - from simple objects to more famous works of art and architecture. In the past, the blocks of marble were transported using an ancient manual technique called "lizzatura", which is recalled each year thanks to the courage and skill of the last living "lizzatori". In the art studios of Carrara, at the Marble Museum and at open- air exhibition, it is possible to learn at close quarters about the history and working of marble.
