On the flight to Italy we watch a move about Michelangelo and got inspired to visit a marble quarry. I was surprised to find a Viatour outing that fit our plan perfectly. This seems to be very popular with European tourist and there were several jeeps on the tour with us. No one we had spoken to that had been to Tuscany had ever mentioned seeing this sight- well worth it- First it's in the north of Tuscan and a different terrain and landscape, and seeing how marble is quarried now and in the time of Michelangelo was really a unique opportunity. On the way, stop in the town of Pietrasanta which is an artist workshop area and a lovely town.

This museum is great, as it takes you back in time to let you see what equipment and accommodation the workers had many many years ago. Extremely interesting!

Colonnata is a small town rich in history and traditions, located in the Apuan mountains, in the area of the marble quarries. Famous for its "lard from Colonnata", the village offers not only great food and a breathtaking view, but also the possibility of trekking for beginners too. Excellent restaurants. It is really worth.
