Massa Carrara

PROVINCIA DI MASSA CARRARA DELLA TOSCANA

 

This province of Tuscany has two towns that are co-capitals: Massa and Carrara - which are located only a few kilometres from each other.

CarraCarrara — this is where the great marble that is all over Italy comes from. The area is still active with marble mills everywhere.

Michelangelo used to travel by horse in this area looking for the perfect white stone. It is said he thought of quarrying as an art just as important as the final sculpture itself.

We have enjoyed our previous visits to this area and there are interesting and scenic little towns up in those hills.

 

Massa — this was a seat of the duchy during the Renaissance times. The 17th Century Palazzo Cybo-Malaspinia has a beautify ornate courtyard.
