The
workshop of Carrara marble in Pietrasanta
The renowned
white marble of the Carrara quarries
is exported to the whole world in
huge blocks but also refined and transformed
into luxury furniture, tiles, house
fittings, ornaments and statues.
Arianna & Friends organizes very
interesting tours to one of the oldest
marble workshop in the area. During
the visit an expert master shows the
stages of manufacturing of a rough
block of marble up to the finishings.
The premises have both old and traditional
machinery and very modern robots.
The last part of the visit is dedicated
to a highly-advanced 3D scanner
that is able to reproduce each shape
onto a piece of marble, including
busts and faces of the visitors. Following
is a walk through the beautiful
town Pietrasanta, with its pictoresque
squares and churches.
