Synopsis

A journey among the Apuan Alps, a spectacular mountain chain worldwide famous for their pure white marble, also known as Carrara’s marble. Born in an ancient sea millions of years ago, because of a coral barrier uplift, these mountains maintain to this day an indissoluble relationship with water.
In every season water, in form of snow, ice, rain and mist, envelopes and penetrates the bowels of these mountains; for this, many impressive torrents and waterfalls often spring with violence from their steep slopes.
Thank to this amount of humidity, many species are able to live on these particularly severe mountains, despite the marble quarries are more and more threatening them.
