These pictures are not very good, but I have to tell you what they are. I had been reading in a book about this city named Carrara. It has the world's most famous marble quarries and is located near Pisa...somewhat. Anyway, Micelangelo himself traveled to these valleys to pick out the marble that he would work into his masterpieces!!! The town and region are dominated by marble. There is a museum where visitors can trace the story of marble-cutting in these valleys from pre-Roman times until today!! We were driving back to Rome and all of the sudden we saw the white and realized the name of the town and knew what it was! If I hadn't read the book, we would have thought they were snow-peaked moutains!!! (Good job reading teacher!)They were beautiful stark white!!!! I just had time for a couple of shots out the window and we were past the town.
