Crouched at the feet of the Apuan Alps, Carrara is known all over the world for the outstanding quality of its marble. Artists from Michelangelo to Henry Moore have tramped up there in search of the perfect block and today the town houses the important Biennale Internazionale di Scultura which offers international sculpturs an inspiring place to create new works.

Our guided tour in Carrara starts with the marble port in Marina di Carrara. After this you head for an open air museum in the Fantiscritti quarries where our guide will illustrate you the entire history of marble quarrying form Roman times up to our days. This part of the tour could be followed by a stroll through the historical center of Carrara where you will see the romanesque cathedral, entirely built in marble, the Teatro degli Animosi, the house of Michelangelo and the Accademy of Fine Arts (outside visit).
