Italy’s Marble Mountains

By Linda Tancs

The Apuan Alps is a mountain range in northern Tuscany. Known as a marble-rich area, the luxury stone has been excavated there since ancient Roman times, particularly in Carrara, which is one of the highest producing marble sites on Earth. The mountain range is protected as part of the Apuan Alps Regional Park, where you’ll also find Mount Forato, boasting one of the country’s largest natural arches. The park’s visitor centers are located at Equi Terme in Lunigiana, at Bosa di Careggine in Garfagnana, in Massa and in Seravezza.
