We will spend the first part of the tour in the Carrara mountains, taking a few stops in front of different marble quarries, where you’ll learn everything about the history and methods of the excavation processes and understand how the experts transform a rock into a beautiful artwork or piece of furniture, later we will visit the nearby Colonnata, home of the quarry men for over 2000 years, where you'll have the chance to taste the unique lardo, a special type of cold cut aged in a marble basin.

This guide knows the marble business and gave incites not normally presented on a tour of this type. The side trips to Colonatta and old town Carrera were also quite special.

Nicola Ventre was vvvvvvery informed about not just Carrara marble and its history, but also the speciality of "lardo", its production and the local culture of this magnificent area of Carrara, Colonnata and neighbouring villages plus his knowledge of amazing details of this wonderful region. My wife and I highly recommend him as a local guide and promise you that you won't regret spending a few hours with him on your next trip to beautiful Italy!!!! ????????

Nicola is amazing. His knowledge and experience in the marble industry and quarrying is exceptional. I learned much about the history and technology of marble quarrying and history of Carrara area. Also, I genuinely enjoyed meeting and spending time with him. I seldom write reviews, but felt compelled to share my experience.
