Italian Marble, metamorphosed limestone, is a beautiful natural stone, with each rock unique to where it’s found and how it was formed. Calacatta and Badoglio marbles also are from this region, which is considered the most significant Italian region for the types and volume of marble extracted.
The Origins of Marble in Italy
In Italy’s most marble-rich area, known as the Apuan Alps, the abundance is surreal. Besides, carving Italian marble at its place of origin is precisely not the point. Its major value has always derived from its removal. Hundreds of quarries have operated in the Apuan Alps since the days of ancient Rome.
The Italian marble in Italy was originally limestone millions of years ago. Over time, with the movement of the earth’s crust and the formation of these mountains, extreme pressure transformed the limestone into the hard, beautiful marble found there today.
Michel Angelo roughly 18,000 -pound statue of the biblical David. This was the final stage of an epic saga that, from mountain to piazza, actually began before Michelangelo’s birth and involved primitive and custom-engineered machinery and, above all, great sweating armies of groaning, straining men. But the tyranny of weight was in effect long before that, and long after, and it remains in effect today.
