Located in central Tuscany, Italy is located 1589 meters high in the mountains. As early as 1517, Italy artist Michelangelo climbed the mountain looking for materials needed for sculpture. There he found the marble of dreams". The Renaissance master wrote, "this is a dense, homogeneous, crystalline, sugar like material."."

Modern heavy machinery can perform efficient quarrying.
