The white Carrara marble, a favorite of Michelangelo and the greatest Italian Renaissance sculptors, is extracted in Carrara, a small city famous for its landscape dominated by white mountains characterized by open-air marble basins, located along the coast of northern Tuscany. The first to appreciate the artistic and commercial aspect of Carrara marble were the Romans, who used it for the construction of imperial palaces or for the creation of statues as early as the first century BC.

However, the marble industry reached its maximum prestige towards the end of the fifteenth century with the arrival of great figures of the Renaissance. The landscape of the Carrara quarries is the consequence of the interaction between man and territory, from the original natural conditions of a few white rocks to the present day with an impressive increase in the size of the marble areas, which have given rise to a scenario unique in the world.
