PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Carrara is a type of white and grey/white marble, popular since Roman times. It is quarries from the steep mountains near the coastal city of Carrara in Tuscany, Italy, which was made famous by Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, who favoured the marble from this area for their statues. Today, much of the quarrying activity is carried out through mining underground, to help mitigate further environmental damage caused by years of extraction activity.
