Michelangelo in Carrara

MICHELANGELO IN CARRARA
A fascinating visit which follows the footsteps of the great artist in the city of Carrara and looks at  his research of truth in the art of sculpture, that took him to the Carrara quarries in order to choose personally the material he mainly used: marble. 
All of this is accompanied by the spectacular views of the Apuan Alps that mysteriously combine art, work, nature and antiquities.Follow me for an nforgettable day.

Proposed Itinerary:
9.00 am: Meeting at the exit of Carrara Highroad and visit to local sculpture studio to understand the comparison between the ancient and modern techniques. 
11.00 am We head towards the center of Carrara to admire the use of marble at the local level and discover the location of the house Michelangelo used to stay in. 
12.30 pm Lunch break at Carrara in the center (or, if you like,  transfer for lunch at Colonnata, an ancient town known for the local specialty of Lard) 
15.00/15.30 Hours: Guided tour to the three marble quarries of Carrara, up to the Michelangelo quarry where,of course, the great sculptor used to seek his favorite marble called "statuary" 
17.45: Return .
