The
workshop covered with white marble dust.

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.
