TOUR

The pillars of Lunigiana

esperienza

You will admire a skillful stone carver at his artisan workshop chiseling the sandstone to create small replicas of the stele statues. Under his guidance test yourself in this fascinating art.

Be welcomed by the Moscatelli family at their watermill where you will learn how mill stones work by mean of water power to grind wheat, corn and chestnut flour used to produce bronze dyed pasta, all in this magical place.

Visit the Museum Danesi, a private collection of ancient instruments and pictures, where we will learn about marble excavation techniques and means of transportation from the Roman Age up to today.

Marble is not used solely for art but also in everyday life and food production. Learn how lardo from Colonnata, the savoury local delicacy, is traditionally aged into big marble vats at a typical lard workshop.

I Protagonisti

Meet Emilio, a master stone-carver member of the Association Mani e Menti, committed to enhance ancient traditions including sandstone carving.

And the Moscatelli family, millers who in the ‘80s have brought an ancient water mill back to life launching a short food supply chain project from the production of wheat and flour to the final product, bronze dyed pasta.

Be welcomed by the Danesi family at their Cava Museo, an open-air private collection about the history of marble, founded in 1987 by the quarryman Walter Danesi.

Meet master sculptors at their atelier where we will be shown their instruments and can admire them skillfully chiseling marble blocks.
