Tickets · Autolinee Toscane
AT app and tabaccherie.
Validate when boarding.
The white mountains above are the show: quarry tours (jeep or guided) run from Fantiscritti and Colonnata's lardo caps the day.
On foot
- ·The marble worked into every doorstep, the academy's courtyard and the quarry roads' switchbacks tell five hundred years of extraction
Taxis and driving
- ·The quarry basin roads are dramatic but working; respect the truck traffic and book tours
