Abstract

The article "Marble marvel" in New Scientist explores the significance of marble quarries in central Italy's Apuan Alps, particularly in the village of Colonnata. The white marble extracted from these quarries is highly valued and has been used by renowned sculptors like Michelangelo. While marble continues to be a staple material for artists, its extraction has environmental consequences, with concerns raised about the impact on the surrounding mountains.
