Über diese Aktivität

The world of marble is not just about extraction and craftsmanship—it is the story of a land and its people, whose identity has long been intertwined with this ancient stone. Carrara marble, known to the Romans as Luna marble or marmor lunense, is a prized white or blue-grey marble used for centuries in sculpture and architectural decoration. It has been quarried since Roman times in the rugged mountains above Carrara, in the province of Massa and Carrara. The quarries are vast, open-air scars on the mountainside—monumental white wounds carved into steep, wild slopes, where tiny human figures move enormous blocks of stone. For over 2,000 years, nature and human ingenuity have clashed and cooperated here, producing the raw material for masterpieces found in palaces, piazzas, and private homes around the world. This is not just a tour—it’s an exclusive, private experience for those seeking something truly special.

    2. Step into a world of breathtaking contrasts—raw and majestic, ancient and industrial. The marble quarries of Carrara, known to the Romans as marmor lunense, have been active since antiquity. Today, their cathedral-like silence, sharp vertical cuts, and the brilliant white stone against the sky make for an unforgettable visit. Watch as tiny workers handle enormous blocks of marble, continuing the tradition of a craft that shaped the great sculptures and monuments of the Western world.

      Pause for a toast with a glass of chilled Prosecco or a refreshing drink, then head to the historic village of Colonnata to enjoy a hearty taste of Lardo.

    3. In the afternoon, you'll visit one of the area’s most celebrated wineries: Ca’ Lunae, founded by Paolo Bosoni in 1966. Continuing a family legacy rooted in Ligurian agriculture, Bosoni brings together tradition and innovation in every step of the winemaking process. The estate, located in the heart of Lunigiana between Sarzana (Liguria) and Carrara (Tuscany), sits within the renowned Colli di Luni DOC—a designation recognized since Roman times for its exceptional viticulture.

      Your experience at Ca’ Lunae will include a guided walk through 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 still made according to ancient recipes. The tour concludes with a curated tasting of their elegant wines, enjoyed in the atmospheric cellar or dedicated tasting room.
