Situated in the northernmost part of Tuscany, the province of Massa Carrara is in the centre of important tourist destinations such as the Golfo dei Poeti, the Cinque Terre and Tuscan art centres. Here, sea and land merge into a spectacular contrast created by nature. At the foot of the maeble mountains - the Apuan Alps - the sea washes a sandy coastline which extends for kilometres. In the Apuan Alps, the marble quarries offer an evocative sight. the precious white stone has been quarried since Roman times. Michelangelo and other artists used it for their magnificent sculptures. In the art studios of Carrara, at the Marble Museum and at open air exhibitions, it is possible to learn at close quaters about the history and working of marble. |
