Overview

Driving up along a very scenic road we visit Carrara’s marble quarry Fantiscritti, which is 2000 feet above the sea level. The open air Museum of Fantiscritti is surrounded by the quarries of Miseglia Basin. It displays tools and techniques used for quarrying marble since the Roman Age. It is possible to buy marble, onix and alabaster souvenirs in the shop of the Museum. We then have an opportunity to taste a bruschetta with Colonnata’s Lard in the restaurant nearby.
