• Florence - Begin your day with a pick-up from your accommodation in Florence at 7am. Our driver typically arrives at your location by 6:45am. The journey to La Spezia train station will take around 2 hours.
• Carrara Marble Quarries Exploration - Enter a realm of stunning contrasts—both raw and majestic, ancient and industrial. The Carrara marble quarries, known to the Romans as marmor lunense, have been operational since ancient times. Today, their cathedral-like silence, sharp vertical cuts, and the dazzling white stone against the sky create an unforgettable experience. Observe as small workers manage massive marble blocks, continuing a craft that has shaped the great sculptures and monuments of the Western world. Pause to enjoy a glass of chilled Prosecco or a refreshing drink, then proceed to the historic village of Colonnata for a hearty taste of Lardo.
• Lunigiana - In the afternoon, visit one of the region’s most renowned wineries: Ca’ Lunae, established by Paolo Bosoni in 1966. Continuing a family tradition rooted in Ligurian agriculture, Bosoni combines tradition and innovation in every aspect of the winemaking process. The estate, located in the heart of Lunigiana between Sarzana (Liguria) and Carrara (Tuscany), is part of the esteemed Colli di Luni DOC—a designation recognized since Roman times for its exceptional viticulture. Your visit to Ca’ Lunae will include a guided tour of the beautifully preserved 18th-century estate, a visit to the on-site wine museum, and time in the Essentiae Laboratory, where seasonal liqueurs and jams are crafted according to ancient recipes.

The realm of marble encompasses more than just extraction and artistry—it embodies the narrative of a region and its inhabitants, whose heritage has been closely linked with this timeless stone. Carrara marble, referred to by the Romans as Luna marble or marmor lunense, is a highly valued white or blue-grey marble that has been utilized for centuries in sculpture and architectural embellishment. It has been extracted since Roman times from the rugged mountains above Carrara, located in the province of Massa and Carrara.

The quarries are expansive, open-air marks on the mountainside—impressive white incisions carved into steep, untamed slopes, where small human figures maneuver massive stone blocks. For over 2,000 years, nature and human innovation have both clashed and collaborated here, yielding the raw material for masterpieces that grace palaces, piazzas, and private residences worldwide.

This is more than just a tour—it’s an exclusive, private experience for those in search of something truly extraordinary.
