Carrara marble quarries Cinque Terre PRIVATE TOUR from FLORENCE
Overview
- Follow in the Master's footsteps as you trace Michelangelo's tracks to the marble quarries of Carrara. Carrara is where he went (250 miles was no small feat then) to hand pick his marble for his Pieta' and from which came the marble for, yes, the David.
- Nowhere in the world is like the "Cinque Terre" or "Five Lands". These quaint, colorful seaside towns combine with the blues and greens in nature to create a stunning, scenic palette. Take a self guided tour through the towns. The entire area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Take an optional stop in Colonnata, world renowned home of Lardo di Colonnata, a local delicacy of pork fat aged in marble vats.
