Marble comes alive!
The Majestic Apuan Alps are considered to be amongst the most beautiful mountain ranges in Europe. Carved by the time and by the man during the centuries they offer breathtaking views of extraordinary beauty and the most beautiful stone sculpted in the world.
Our event offers you the opportunity to live an experience that will approach you to the world of the quarrymen and of the sculptor.
You can also make an exclusive tour inside a quarry situated more than 500 meters deep in the bowels of the mountain where you will discover the ancient quarrying techniques and their evolution till the present day.
A break for lunch in the canteen of the quarry workers will throw you in a unique atmosphere away from your everyday life, and give you the opportunity to taste the dishes of this region.
The event will be completed by a sculpture competition, individual or group, that will give you the opportunity to express the artist in you!
