2. The Italian marble industry, traceable to the early Renaissance period (14th - 17th century) produces some of the world’s best marble. Firmly rooted in the distant past, Italian marble quarries are among the country’s oldest production sectors, and the marble itself can be found in some of the world’s most famous structures and artworks, such as the tomb of Pope Julius II that was commissioned by Michelangelo to build in the 1500's. Most of Italy’s marble quarries are found in what is known as the Carrara Valley also referred to as the Province of Massa-Carrara, on the border of Liguria and Emilian Romagna.Italian marbleoldest productionfamous structuresCarrara Valley

4. Italy’s first building to be constructed solely with marble was the Temple of Jupiter Stator in 146 B.C., in Rome, but it was the rise of the Roman Empire that saw marble become the stone of choice for the most impressive building projects funded by the state.

5. At the time, the most commonly used Italian marble was Carrara marble from the Apuan Alps in Tuscany, but the material was widely available all across the empire. Also, Roman architects favored several varieties from North Africa, Turkey and Egypt, although they were typically used only for columns, and for state-funded projects given transportation costs.
