Spend a day “one step from the sky” in the white landscape of the quarries. Visit the extraordinary marble quarries of Fantiscritti (Carrara) and enjoy the lard of Colonnata. In the afternoon, taste the exquisite wines of the Luni farm and its local products. The Fantiscritti marble quarry has an interesting open-air museum on the history of marble mining, which shows how quarrymen have lived their lives over the centuries, how the marble blocks have been cut and moved and the evolution of the equipment used. The quarry is still active.
