CARRARA

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 401 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAR-CAU
CARRARA , a town of Tuscany, Italy, in the province of Massa e Carrara, 390 ft. above sea-level, 3 M. by
rail
  N.N.E. of Avenza, which is 16m. E.S.E. of
Spezia
 . Pop. (1881) 26, 325; (1905) town, 38,100; commune, 48,493. The
cathedral
  (12721385) is a fine
Gothic
  building dating from the period of Pisan supremacy; the other churches, and indeed all the
principal
  buildings of the town, are constructed of the local
marble
 , to which the place owes its importance. The Accademia di Belle Arti contains several Roman antiquities found in the quarries, and some
modern
  works by local sculptors. A large theatre was inaugurated in 1892. Some of the quarries were worked in Roman times (see LUNA), but were abandoned after the downfall of the western
empire
 , until the growth of Pisan architecture and sculpture in the 12th and 13th centuries created a demand for it. The quarries now End end over almost the whole of the Apuan Alps, and some boo of them are being worked, of
white
 .
345, with 4400 workmen, are at Carrara itself, and 50 (700 men) at Massa. The amount exported in 1899 was 18o,000 tons. The quarries are served by a
separate
  railway, with several branch lines.
