From the port of Carrara, our private driver takes you to the region's most treasured gem: the white marble quarries. Cuando llegues, aboard comfortable and powerful Land Rover Defenders, our guide leads you to the summits of the Apuan Alps to explore the three most renowned marble excavation basins in the world: Colonnata, Miseglia, and Torano. These are the very sites where Michelangelo finds the block that brings his famous Pietà to life.
This tour is not just about marble extraction, techniques, or processing; it immerses you in history, fascinating anecdotes, and the stories of the people who shape this tradition. During the excursion, you savor the renowned lardo di Colonnata, a unique delicacy of the local butchery tradition, perfectly paired with a wine tasting.
