Our Carrara quarries
Marmi di Carrara srl owns and operates quarries in the Carrara marble basins of Torano, Fantiscritti (Miseglia) and Colonnata, and in the Fondone basin at Forno di Massa, source of Calacatta Luccicoso, Venatino and Bardiglio Imperiale. The blocks extracted from our own and exclusive quarries become the white and veined marbles we have shipped worldwide for sixty years: Statuario, Calacatta, Calacatta Luccicoso, Arabescato, Bardiglio, Bianco Carrara and the other Apuan marbles. We control the whole chain, from selecting the bench in the quarry to sawing, polishing and crating in our Carrara plants.
