Carrara marble quarries – caries of the mountains and the challenge of environmental protection

Discover the impressive photography of the Carrara marble quarries and the beauty of the Alpi Apuane Nature Reserve

The Carrara marble quarries in Italy are world-famous for their high-quality marble, which has been used in many historic buildings and works of art. But behind this beauty lies a sensitive environmental issue: the decay of the mountains. Massive marble mining in the Alpi Apuane nature reserve poses a challenging balance between industrial use and nature conservation.

At Panoramic Art, we present a photographic documentation of the Carrara marble quarries, revealing not only the industrial aesthetics of this centuries-old extraction activity, but also the natural beauty of the Apuan Alps and the associated environmental challenges. Our photographs capture the imposing and disturbing aesthetics of the mountain caries while also taking a critical look at the environmental impact of this millennia-old industry.
