MarmoTour Michelangelo

Not just a tour, but a collection of unique experiences.

Deep inside Monte Torrione, the tunnel of the legendary Ferrovia Marmifera railway leads to an almost lunar landscape where scale becomes difficult to grasp and time seems to stand still.

A guided route through an active marble quarry: stone, light, machinery, art and a wine cellar where sparkling wine rests inside the mountain.

STRAORDINARIO

The cellar of Straordinario sparkling wine, aged inside the mountain on traditional pupitres, in bottles dusted with Carrara marble.

Here marble is more than scenery: it provides temperature, silence and a sense of place. The bottles rest in a naturally stable, dramatic setting, veiled in white quarry dust and illuminated by a light that makes every toast genuinely out of the ordinary.

THE MURAL

A monumental interpretation of Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam rises across 160 m² at the centre of our gallery. International artist Ozmo created it especially for MarmoTour.

The marble wall becomes a theatrical backdrop. In front of the mural, the quarry changes rhythm and the story moves from extraction to visual wonder: a direct encounter between Michelangelo, Ozmo and Carrara.

THE “MARBLE CATHEDRAL”

In this lunar landscape you will explore the Cattedrale del Marmo — the “Marble Cathedral”: 24,000 cubic metres carved into prestigious Carrara marble.

This is where every sense of scale changes: soaring walls, enormous blocks, geometric cuts and a cool light that makes the marble appear alive. It is a space created by extraction, yet it feels purpose-built to inspire awe.

Your next step

When you leave the quarry, you will never see Carrara in quite the same way.

Book your visit, bring your curiosity and let us guide you through a place where marble is more than a material: it is history, landscape, work and wonder.
