Review:
Carrara is a Tuscany comune located along the Carrione River, approximately 100 kilometers from Florence.
The city is best known as a quarry site for white and blue marble and showcases a true taste of the quiet, quaint Italian countryside. Marble quarrying and cutting workshops are offered by the city’s Carrara Marble company, while tourist-friendly waterfront areas such as Marina di Carrara and Marina di Massa offer beautiful, family-friendly public beaches.
Historic sites include the Piazza del Duomo, which is home to an 11th-century white marble Romanesque cathedral and a house frequented by legendary artist Michelangelo.
