The Italian marble industry,
traceable to the early Renaissance period (14th - 17th century) produces some
of the world’s best marble. Firmly rooted in the distant past, Italian marble
quarries are among the country’s oldest production sectors, and the marble itself can be found in some of the
world’s most famous structures and artworks,
such as the tomb of Pope Julius II that was commissioned by Michelangelo to
build in the 1500's. Most of Italy’s marble quarries
are found in what is known as the Carrara Valley
also referred to as the Province of Massa-Carrara, on the border of Liguria and
Emilian Romagna.
Italy’s
first building to be constructed solely with marble was the Temple of Jupiter
Stator in 146 B.C., in Rome, but it was the rise of the Roman Empire that saw
marble become the stone of choice for the most impressive building projects
funded by the state.
At
the time, the most commonly used Italian marble was Carrara marble from the
Apuan Alps in Tuscany, but the material was widely available all across the
empire. Also, Roman
architects favored several varieties from North Africa,
Turkey and Egypt,
although they were typically used only for columns, and for state-funded
projects given transportation costs.
Today,
the Italian marble industry is concentrated within seven primary industrial
zones, the largest of which is Valpolicella, in the province of Verona.
Valpolicella is comprised of more than 500 companies committed to extracting
some of the world’s most desirable
Italian marbles.
