Description
The following is a description of Carrara marble. Carrara marble is a type of marble that is found in the province of Massa and Carrara in Italy. Carrara marble is known for its beautiful colors and patterns. The marble has been used since the time of Ancient Rome and was called the "Luni marble". In the 17th and 18th centuries, the marble quarries were monitored by the Cybo and Malaspina families who ruled over Massa and Carrara. The family created the "Office of Marble" in 1564 to regulate the marble mining industry. Following the extinction of the Cybo-Malaspina family, the state was ruled by the House of Austria and management of the mines rested with them. The Basilica of Massa is built entirely of Carrara marble and the old Ducal Palace of Massa was used to showcase the precious stone.
