Famous for its white marble industry extracted from the Apuan region, Carrara is now experiencing difficult times, with production in sharp decline in the face of China, the world's leading stone producer. Used since ancient times, and the raw material of the greatest sculptors, this precious marble is renowned for its brilliant whiteness, its discreet and graphic veining; it makes up the 14,500 tons of the Tower of Pisa! According to legend, the name Carrara comes from the ancient word kar, which meant stone. Here, you have to listen carefully to hear the famous carrarino, the local patois, so different from Italian!
