説明

Mingle with the workers in the Carrara quarry where Michelangelo chose the marble for his masterpieces Pietà and David and discover more a unusual use for the marble. Upon arriving in the Apuan Alps, you will meet the workers that quarry the famed Carrara marble using enormous bulldozers and metal cables with diamond cutting edges. It is a fascinating process that they will describe in detail while recounting the more than 2,000-year-old history of this extraordinary quarry. The marble is also fashioned into vats for aging lard, which the quarry workers once consumed for its high-energy content. Today, the pork fatback is thinly sliced and served raw as an antipasto. While visiting the village of Colonnata, you will see how the lard is seasoned with garlic, rosemary and other herbs and aged up to a year in the marble vats. As your tasting will reveal, the creamy white lard is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
