Understand

[edit]

The province's economy, once mainly based on the production of the famous white Carrara marble, has now shifted to the importation and fabrication of blocks of marble and granite from other parts of the world.

The province of Massa-Carrara is conventionally divided into two main areas:

  • the coastal part of the province is made up of the Apuan Riviera, a 14-km-long strip with long and clear beaches formed by very fine grains of light grey gravel;
  • the inland part of the territory is made up of Lunigiana, which is predominantly mountainous and hilly.

Tourist information

The Apuan province is crossed by three railway lines:

  • The Genoa-La Spezia-Pisa line
  • The Parma - La Spezia line called the Pontremolese Railway
  • The Lucca-Aulla line

By car

[edit]

The A12 motorway, called Azzurra, along the coast connects the province to Rosignano Marittimo and Genoa.

The A15 connects the A1 and the A12, crossing Lunigiana.
