At the end of the 19th century, a train traversed the quarries of Carrara, winding into the mountains and re-emerging amidst viaducts, stations, and spectacular bridges suspended over deep ravines. The Carrara Marble Railway was far more than a mere means of transport: it transformed the handling of marble into an integrated industrial system and even became an extraordinary route for scientists, artists, and travelers alike. It is a story of engineering, innovation, and landscape that reveals a surprisingly modern side of Carrara.
