• Resumen

  • A photograph of Cervalole marble quarry on Mount Altissimo, high in Italy's Apuan Alps, is featured. The marble here was discovered by the Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo, who trekked up Altissimo's slopes 500 years ago, wherein he believed that the marble he found there is crystalline, reminiscent of sugar, which may have been better than the Carrara marble he had used to carve his statue David.
